If I Forget Thee

Famous quotes containing the words forget thee, forget and/or thee:

    Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
    While the world’s tide is bearing me along;
    Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me,
    Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

    Powerful men in particular suffer from the delusion that human beings have no memories. I would go so far as to say that the distinguishing trait of powerful men is the psychotic certainty that people forget acts of infamy as easily as their parents’ birthdays.
    Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

    All which I took from thee I did but take,
    Not for thy harms,
    But just that thou might’st seek it in My arms.
    Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
