Famous quotes containing the word memory:

“Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said Fie;
So vain desire was chidden—”
—Anthony Munday (1553–1633)
“Mild brown eyes beckon me to the past, but memory provides no clue.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
