System Memory

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or memory:

“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

“His memory is like wares at the auction—going, going, and anon it will be gone.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
