Famous quotes containing the word remains:
“How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.”

“Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.”

“What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.”
