Famous quotes containing the words memory and/or refresh:
“With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“These sweet thoughts do even refresh my labors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
