The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.

» Salman Rushdie (1948-?) Anglo-Indian novelist

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author

Things that were hard to bear are sweet to remember.

The more a man can forget, the greater the number of metamorphoses which his life can undergo, the more he can remember the more divine his life becomes.

Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.

» T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright

We have all forgot more than we remember.

» Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859) British author and intellectual

Memory is like a purse, if it be over-full that it cannot shut, all will drop out of it. Take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy memory spoil the digestion thereof.

» Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859) British author and intellectual

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.

» Stendhal (1783-1842) French novelist

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 de Quincey (1785-1859) British author and intellectual

Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.

» Walter Bagehot (1826-1877) British economist

The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.
