Famous quotes containing the words memorials to, memorials and/or life:
“Our public monuments are memorials to the Enlightenment.”

Of idiosyncratic music.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all.... I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
