Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In memory everything seems to happen to music.”
—Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)
“My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”
—Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
