"There's no disappointment in memory, and one's exaggerations are always on the good side."George EliotDaniel Deronda
Email Quote.
The memories which peaceful country scenes call up, are not of this world, nor of its thoughts and hopes. Their gentle influence may teach us how to weave fresh garlands for the graves of those we loved: may purify our thoughts, and bear down before it old enmity and hatred; but beneath all this, there lingers, in the least reflective mind, a vague and half-formed consciousness of having held such feelings long before, in some remote and distant time, which calls up solemn thoughts of distant times to come, and bends down pride and worldliness beneath it.Charles DickensOliver Twist
Email Quote.
Joy and grief were mingled in the cup; but there were no bitter tears: for even grief itself arose so softened, and clothed in such sweet and tender recollections, that it became a solemn pleasure, and lost all character of pain.Charles DickensOliver Twist
Email Quote.
Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy.Gilbert ParkerRomany of the Snows
Email Quote.
"There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance."Gilbert ParkerMrs. Falchion
Email Quote.
"Lord keep my memory green!"Charles DickensThe Haunted Man
Email Quote.
Recollections of the past and visions of the present come to bear me company; the meanest man to whom I have ever given alms appears, to add his mite of peace and comfort to my stock; and whenever the fire within me shall grow cold, to light my path upon this earth no more, I pray that it may be at such an hour as this, and when I love the world as well as I do now.Charles DickensMaster Humphrey's Clock
Email Quote.
Memory is a net; one finds it full of fish when he takes it from the brook; but a dozen miles of water have run through it without sticking.Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
Email Quote.
Grace Stepney's mind was like a kind of moral fly-paper, to which the buzzing items of gossip were drawn by a fatal attraction, and where they hung fast in the toils of an inexorable memory.Edith WhartonThe House of Mirth
Email Quote.
With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man's past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the tinglings of a merited shame.George EliotMiddlemarch
Email Quote.
At a single strain of music, the scent of a flower, or even one glimpse of a path of moonlight lying fair upon a Summer sea, the barriers crumble and fall. Through the long corridors the ghosts of the past walk unforbidden, hindered only by broken promises, dead hopes, and dream-dust.Myrtle ReedOld Rose and Silver
Email Quote.
"Memory, my dear Cecily, is the diary that we all carry about with us."Oscar WildeThe Importance of Being Earnest
Email Quote.
And from that hour his poor maimed spirit, only remembering the place where it had broken its wings, cancelled the dream through which it had since groped, and knew of nothing beyond the Marshalsea.Charles DickensLittle Dorrit
Email Quote.
Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it.Lucy Maud MontgomeryAnne of Green Gables
Email Quote.
The starred and stately nights seemed haughty dames in jewelled velvets, nursing at home in lonely pride, the memory of their absent conquering Earls, the golden helmeted suns!Herman MelvilleMoby Dick
Email Quote.
"If you will take me for your wife, Walter, I will love you dearly. If you will let me go with you, Walter, I will go to the world's end without fear. I can give up nothing for you - I have nothing to resign, and no one to forsake; but all my love and life shall be devoted to you, and with my last breath I will breathe your name to God if I have sense and memory left."Charles DickensDombey and Son
Email Quote.
My spirits were elevated by the enchanting appearance of nature; the past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, and the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipations of joy.Mary ShelleyFrankenstein
Email Quote.
"I remember a mass of things, but nothing distinctly; a quarrel, but nothing wherefore. O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!"William ShakespeareOthello
Email Quote.
"There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences."Jane AustenMansfield Park
Email Quote.
Childhood has no forebodings; but then, it is soothed by no memories of outlived sorrow.George EliotThe Mill on the Floss
