Memory Quotes

To the extent that experience is the sum of our memories and wisdom the sum of experience, having a better memory would mean knowing not only more about the world, but also more about myself Picture Quote #1

The art and science of memory is about developing the capacity to quickly create images that link disparate ideas. Creativity is the ability to form similar connections between disparate images and to create something new and hurl it into the future so it becomes a poem, or a building, or a dance, or a novel. Creativity is, in a sense, future memory Picture Quote #1

Our ability to find humor in the world, to make connections between previously unconnected notions, to create new ideas, to share in a common culture: All these essentially human acts depend on memory Picture Quote #1

Memory. All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then Picture Quote #1

For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it Picture Quote #1

A journal is more than a memory goad. It’s therapeutic. The simple act of opening a notebook to put words down stills the crosscurrents of worry, drawing to focus the essential though patterms that best defines us, intersecting those thoughts with the condition of our life at that exact moment. A journal is one of the few anchors the human condition allows us Picture Quote #1

I think everyone must have a first memory of some house, some room, a vivid picture that will remain deep down in one forever Picture Quote #1

Love changes us and helps us move forward in life. It often helps us become the people we’ve always wanted to be and move away from the people we were. Love transforms us in the best of ways, allowing us only to look back on a memory of our former self Picture Quote #1

Once I’ve met someone, the years cannot erase, the memory of a pleasant word or a friendly face Picture Quote #1

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. I don’t know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint? It might be things, thoughts, a memory, sensations, which have nothing to do directly with painting itself. They can come from anything and anywhere Picture Quote #1

Here is a shared memory that we didn’t share, forgot to share, for almost ninety years Picture Quote #1

I feel uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism, you know, hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I’m wrong about that Picture Quote #1

I see the origin of the irresistible attraction of metaphor and analogy, the explanation of our strange and permanent need to find similarities in things. I can scarcely refrain from suspecting some ancient, diffused magnetism; a call from the center of things; a dim, almost lost memory, or perhaps a presentiment, pointless in so puny a being, of a universal syntax Picture Quote #1

One can say that the city itself is the collective memory of its people, and like memory it is associated with objects and places. The city is the locus of the collective memory Picture Quote #1

Roscoe was spiritually illegal, a bootlegger of the soul, a mythic creature made of words and wit and wild deeds and boundless memory Picture Quote #1

I’m fortunate to have found out early, in 1990, just two years after I retired, that I have neurological damage. I try to manage it. I know what can trigger headaches and try to avoid it. I have short term memory problems, so I make a special effort to remember people and names. I have to work harder, but it’s important Picture Quote #1

I have a pretty good memory, but memories are time beings, too, like cherry blossoms or ginkgo leaves; for a while they are beautiful, and then they fade and die Picture Quote #1

I had been riding horses before my memory kicked in, so my life with horses had no beginning. It simply appeared from the fog of infancy. I survived a difficult childhood by traveling on the backs of horses, and in adulthood the pattern didn’t change Picture Quote #1

Thought assists memory in enabling it to order the material it has assembled. So that in a systematically ordered memory every idea is individually followed by all conclusions it entails Picture Quote #1

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull Picture Quote #1

Besides, whoever keeps the future in front of him and the past at his back is doing something else that’s hard to imagine. For the image implies that events somehow already exist in the future, reach the present at a determined moment, and finally come to rest in the past. But nothing exists in the future; it is empty; one might die at any minute. Therefore such a person has his face toward the void, whereas it is the past behind him that is visible, stored in the memory Picture Quote #1

Elegance is not catching somebody’s eyes, it’s staying in somebody’s memory Picture Quote #1

When all hopes of recognition or honor have faded into distant memory, when purity of heart meets sorrow of mind, when all the world seems to walk in blindness and yet a man works without wearying for that which he loves... only in this moment is passion truly understood Picture Quote #1

Hindsight is a beautiful thing, mage. The past is for the memory, the present is for the mind Picture Quote #1

Writers, because they write, are condemned never to be readers of their own stories... The memory of first putting a story into words will always prevent writers from reading their work as an ordinary reader would Picture Quote #1

In my earliest memory, my grandfather is bald as a stone and he takes me to see the tigers Picture Quote #1

Your youth is the most important thing you will ever have. It’s when you will connect to music like a primal urge, and the memories attached to the songs will never leave you. Please hold on to everything. Keep every note, mix tape, concert ticket stub, and memory you have of music from your youth. It’ll be the one thing that might keep you young, even if you aren’t anymore Picture Quote #1

I have twenty countries in my memory and trail in my soul the colors of one hundred cities Picture Quote #1

Because with time blocking out the bad, memory is always bound to be a bit naive and stupidly optimistic Picture Quote #1

The world changes too fast. You take your eyes off something that’s always been there, and the next minute it’s just a memory Picture Quote #1
