Famous quotes containing the word forgotten:
“Weve forgotten what its like not to be able to reach the light switch. Weve forgotten a lot of the monsters that seemed to live in our room at night. Nevertheless, those memories are still there, somewhere inside us, and can sometimes be brought to the surface by events, sights, sounds, or smells. Children, though, can never have grown-up feelings until theyve been allowed to do the growing.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The sacred obligation to the Union soldiers must notwill not be forgotten nor neglected.... But those who fought against the Nation cannot and do not look to it for relief....

Whatever, therefore, we their fellow citizens can do to remove burdens from their shoulders and to brighten their lives is surely in the pathway of humanity and patriotism.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“For imagine my shame when they asked what I meant
And I had to confess that Id been, gone and went
And forgotten the news I was bringing to Ghent,”
—R. J. Yeatman (18981968)
