Character Amnesia

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or amnesia:

    But boys and girls, pale from the imagined love
    Of solitary beds, knew what they were,
    That passion could bring character enough
    And pressed at midnighht in some public place
    Live lips upon a plummet-measured face.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?
    John Guare (b. 1938)
