Negative Memories

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or memories:

    “The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes
    May weep, but never see,
    A night of memories and of sighs
    I consecrate to thee.”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
