Shape Memory

Famous quotes containing the words shape and/or memory:

“An unlicked bear”
—Trans. by Johanna Prins.

Dutch expression meaning “a boor”: from the old belief that bear cubs are licked into shape by their mothers.

“We went to Mannheim and attended a shivaree—otherwise an opera—the one called “Lohengrin.” The banging and slamming and booming and crashing were something beyond belief. The racking and pitiless pain of it remains stored up in my memory alongside the memory of the time that I had my teeth fixed.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
