Recollection Quotations
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. George Bernard Shaw We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection. Plato The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured. Marcus Tullius Cicero A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory. Samuel Taylor Coleridge It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative? Cesare Pavese |
