Memory…
Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. ~From the television show The Wonder Years
Every man’s memory is his private literature. ~Aldous Huxley
God gave us memories that we might have roses in December. ~J.M. Barrie, Courage, 1922
Memory is a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things. ~Pierce Harris, Atlanta Journal
The existence of forgetting has never been proved: We only know that some things don’t come to mind when we want them. ~Friedrich Nietzsche
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
~T.S. Eliot
To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.
~Thomas Campbell, Hallowed Ground
