Famous quotes containing the word memory:

    All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    They tell me, Lucy, thou art dead,
    That all of thee we loved and cherished
    Has with thy summer roses perished;
    And left, as its young beauty fled,
    An ashen memory in its stead.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
