Anticipation of movement, through muscular innervation and memory, by its retention of nerve impulse images, extend the present to the limit of a second or so.
John Desmond Bernal

I've been very physical my whole life. I went out hiking and camping for days in the Australian forest, and when I trained at drama school for three years, we did a whole lot on stage-fighting techniques. And I was a dancer from 5 to 18, so I have a memory for choreography.
Yvonne Strahovski

They're very strong in memory. Didn't do very much in microprocessors or digital signal processing.

Memory is quite central for me. Part of it is that I like the actual texture of writing through memory.

Philip Levine

Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Max Muller

My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound.
Griffin Dunne

His name, Buzz, fits. He can buzz along at 40 miles an hour when his genetic memory moves him.
Joe Henderson

I feel that the thing that probably aided me the most in that scene with the dog was the utilization and using an actual recreation, affective memory, if you want to call it, of pain.
Ray Walston

I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.
Clara Schumann

Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety; and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name.
