As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember.
- Neil Armstrong
I have survived. I am here. Confused, screwed up, but here. So, how can I find my way? Is there a chain saw of the soul, an ax I can take to my memories or fears?
- Laurie Halse Anderson
Even as a kid, my memories are of books taking me out of myself.
- Oprah Winfrey
Sifting through long forgotten stories of my childhood and writing on a daily basis, I became obsessed with following the threads of my memories, one leading to another. I start pulling on a single, seemingly trivial strand, only to discover it is attached to a longer strand; that one in turn is attached to an even bigger one. Sometimes, I find have tugged a whole, hidden tapestry of my past into view, one thread at a time.
- Alice Bag
I guard my memories of my lost one jealously, keep them securely under wraps, like a folio of delicate watercolours that must be protected from the harsh light of day. (91)
- John Banville
There's no reason for you to know all that about me. My memories have never served good to anyone. (Acheron)
- Sherrilyn Kenyon
I am sifting my memories, the way men pan the dirt under a barroom floor for the bits of gold dust that fall between the cracks. It's small mining-- small mining. You're too young a man to be panning memories, Adam. You should be getting yourself some new ones, so that the mining will be richer when you come to age.
- John Steinbeck
Memory is slippery. It bends to our understanding of the world, twists to accommodate our prejudices. It is unreliable. Witnesses seldom remember the same things. They identify the wrong people. They give us the details of events that never happened. Memory is slippery, but my memories suddenly feel slipperier.
- Holly Black
But my memories are like a fire in winterwhenever I'm cold I can warm my hands at them.
Ditta
- Madeleine L Engle
I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.
- Nicolas Cage
It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a matter of is and is no longer.
- David Levithan
Do you remember how you felt at seventeen? I do and I don't (...) Imagine you came from outer space and someone showed you a butterfly and a caterpillar. Would you ever put the two of them together? That's me and my memories.
- Douglas Coupland
If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone, anyone, love me?
- John Green
In my memories it was always December. December became another word for home to me. Then there were other times when I would swear the past almost had a personality. At those times I thought of it as Nostalgia. Nostalgia is the only friend that stays with you forever.
- Damien Echols
Her father was about to have a heart attack, and my memories of her are now tinged with a blue wash of misfortune that hadn't quite befallen her at the time. She was standing bare-legged in the jungly weeds that grew up between our houses. Her skin was already beginning to react to the grass cuttings stuck to the ball, whose sogginess was suddenly explained by the overweight Labrador who now limped into view.
- Jeffrey Eugenides
When Carri died, I felt like I had lost everything, except my life, and my memories of her. Now I can't even dream of her..
- Richard Finney
My memories of them had rubbed thin with overuse, worn to frail color transparencies flickering on the walls of my mind
- Tana French
My memories are of denim. I remember being 12 in my Levi's. Wow!
- Stefano Gabbana
I grow old though pleased with my memories
The tasks I can no longer complete
Are balanced by the love of the tasks gone past
I offer no apology only
this plea:
When I am frayed and strained and drizzle at the end
Please someone cut a square and put me in a quilt
That I might keep some child warm
And some old person with no one else to talk to
Will hear my whispers
And cuddle
near
- Nikki Giovanni
I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories.
- Arthur Golden
It was hard to reconcile the drumbeats and lifted voices in the night with my memories of flames and the screams of dying men. How could humanity range so effortlessly from the sublime to the savage and back again?
- Robin Hobb
I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.
- Jean Paul Sartre
What he wanted was not just to hear about Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was close to completing and so that's what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they'd really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the paint and the exhaustion, the line would blur between what were my memories and what were his.
- Kazuo Ishiguro
My memories are like a shuffled deck of cards, each one coming up at random.
- Brian James
Of all that I have possessed in my life, my memories are the only things remaining to me. Indeed, I believe that memories are the only real treasure any human can hope to hold always.
- Gary Jennings
My memories are not books. They are only stories that I have been over so many times in my head that I don't know from one day to the next what's remembered and what's made up. Like when you memorize a poem, and for one small unimportant part you supply your own words. The meaning's the same, the meter's identical. When you read the actual version you can never get it into your head that it's right and you're wrong.
- Elizabeth Mccracken
My memories are inside me - they're not things or a place - I can take them anywhere.
- Olivia Newtonjohn
Time had not faded my memories (as I had prayed to God it might), nor had it healed my wounds as it is said always to do. I began each day with the hope that the next day would be better, my recollections a little less pointed, but I would awake to the same pain, as if a black lamp were burning eternally inside me, radiating darkness.
- Orhan Pamuk
Rich will be my life if I
can keep my memories full
and brimming, and record
them on clear-eyed
mornings while I set
joyously to work setting
pen to holy craft.
- Roman Payne
Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me.
- Robin Wright Penn
Everything around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.
- Fernando Pessoa
I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.
- Lisa Marie Presley
My memories of him did not do him justice. He's not merely good looking... he's the epitome of male beauty, breathtaking.
- James E Rogers
I cling to my memories of glorious desperation.
- Henry Rollins
...in words and pickles, I have immortalized my memories, although distortions are inevitable in both methods. We must live, I'm afraid, with the shadows of imperfections.
- Salman Rushdie
I don't want to lose my memories. Don't make me forget. I would rather die as
Elena, than live as a shadow.
- Nalini Singh
With my eyes closed and my memories open, I could almost feel his hands and mouth on my skin.
- Jeri Smith Ready
I buried my grief for my son, not my memories, but my grief.
- Deborah Smith
I want to live with all of my memories, even if they're sad memories. I believe that if I stay strong, someday I'll overcome the pain, and then I'll be glad that I have those memories. I believe that there are no memories that are okay to forget.
- Natsuki Takaya
My memories of camp - I was four years old to eight years old - they're fond memories.
- George Takei
I'm not worried about the future as much as I'm worried about the past. About keeping my memories real and not sacrificing them to match the present.
