Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works. Not only his own thoughts, but the thoughts of the men of past ages guide his hands; and, as part of the human race, he creates. If we work thus we shall be men, and our days will be happy and eventful.”
—William Morris (18341896)
“Any memory for the most part depending on chance.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“Im sorry that I spelt the word:
I hate to go above you,
BecauseMthe brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see, I love you!
Still memory to a grey-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
