The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
Milan Kundera

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
Washington Irving

I guess the painkillers wipe out your memory along with your ethics.
Keith Olbermann

Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity, and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing.
Thomas Fuller

Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved.
Thomas Fuller

A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
Grandma Moses

There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.
Gilbert Parker

Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy.
Gilbert Parker

Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
Thomas More

I didn't worry about it because I kind of felt I left a good message and memory with the people in terms of my work, and I always felt with a good record, I could always come back.
Tina Turner

We are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language.
Joyce Carol Oates

True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
James Russell Lowell

Love is the emplem of eternity; it confounds all notions of time; effaces all memory of begining, all fear of an end.
Madame de Stael

Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.
Emile M. Cioran

I have a writer's memory which makes everything worse than maybe it actually was.
Amy Tan

Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
John Irving

You dont have to hold on to the pain, to hold on to the memory.
Janet Jackson

Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
Ingrid Bergman

Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.
Wendell Berry

Meanwhile the fact that the connection with the activity of memory in ordinary life is for the moment lost is of less importance than the reverse, namely, that this connection with the complications and fluctuations of life is necessarily still a too close one.
Hermann Ebbinghaus
