"It is all right to copy what you see, but it is much better to draw what you can no longer see except through your memory. This is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory. All you reproduce is what struck you." ~ Edgar Degas
One always begins to forget a place as soon as it’s left behind. ~ Charles Dickens
The true art of memory is the art of attention. ~ Samuel Johnson
Every day your memory grows dimmer/it doesn’t haunt me like it did before. ~ Bob Dylan
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived. ~ Susan Sontag
We do not remember days, we remember moments. ~ Cesare Pavese
There’s hope a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year. ~ William Shakespeare

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. ~ Corrie ten Boom
