Famous quotes containing the words term, memory and/or store:
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal requestit is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201906)
“I dont avoid pain by not remembering something; I try to remember.... Memory is empowering, and its what gives you your sense of continuity in the world.”
—Melinda Worth Popham (b. 1944)
“There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I dont mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, thats the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
—John Steinbeck (19021968)
