Dangerous Memory

Famous quotes containing the words dangerous and/or memory:

    Books, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institutions,—such call I good books.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Perhaps a man like you can’t realize what it is to have a conscience and no memory at all. Do you imagine it’s pleasant to be ashamed of something you can’t even remember?
    Orson Welles (1915–1985)
