Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth but not its twin.

One form of loneliness is to have a memory and no one to share it with.

God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.

Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe—though we didn’t know it at the time.

A monument is money wasted. My memory will live on if my life has deserved it.

Someone will remember us
I say
even in another time.

People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them.

There’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year.

Memory is more indelible than ink.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

Memory is like the moon, which hath its new, its full, and its wane.

Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

Some memories are like lucky charms, talismans, one shouldn’t tell about them or they’ll lose their power.
