Famous quotes containing the word memory:
““One thought in agony of strife
The bravest would have by for friend,
The memory that he chose the life ...””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
“Ah! you can die, the world can collapse, I have lost the one I love. I must now live in this terrible solitude where memory is torture.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
