“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
