Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“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)
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Then, lastly, let some weekly strewings be
Devoted to the memory of me:
Then shall my ghost not walk about, but keep
Still in the cool and silent shades of sleep.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
