Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.”
—Victor Hugo (18021885)
“But what do you keep of me?
The memory of my bones flying
up into your hands.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
