Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“We went to Mannheim and attended a shivaree—otherwise an opera—the one called “Lohengrin.” The banging and slamming and booming and crashing were something beyond belief. The racking and pitiless pain of it remains stored up in my memory alongside the memory of the time that I had my teeth fixed.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
