Famous quotes containing the word memory:

    Language was not powerful enough to describe the infant phenomenon. “I’ll tell you what, sir,” he said; “the talent of this child is not to be imagined. She must be seen, sir—seen—to be ever so faintly appreciated.”... The infant phenomenon, though of short stature, had a comparatively aged countenance, and had moreover been precisely the same age—not perhaps to the full extent of the memory of the oldest inhabitant, but certainly for five good years.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The true art of memory is the art of attention.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    For my name and memory I leave it to men’s charitable speeches, and to foreign nations, and the next ages.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
