Curtained Memory

Famous quotes containing the words curtained and/or memory:

“Now o’er the one half-world
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtained sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
