Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“I don’t avoid pain by not remembering something; I try to remember.... Memory is empowering, and it’s what gives you your sense of continuity in the world.”
—Melinda Worth Popham (b. 1944)
“His memory is like wares at the auction—going, going, and anon it will be gone.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
