Famous quotes containing the words short, term and/or memory:
“Kringelein: I’m going to live. I’m going to have a good time while I can.
The Baron: That’s my motto, Kringelein. A short life and a gay one.”
—William A. Drake (1900–1965)
“A radical is one of whom people say “He goes too far.” A conservative, on the other hand, is one who “doesn’t go far enough.” Then there is the reactionary, “one who doesn’t go at all.” All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term “progressive.” I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselves—one who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
