Memory

Lucy Larcom Quote: “I remember how beautiful the Merrimac…”

I remember how beautiful the Merrimac looked to me in childhood, the first true river I ever knew; it opened upon my sight and wound its way through my heart like a dream realized; its harebells, its rocks, and its rapids, are far more fixed in my memory than anything about the sea.

October 23, 2021 1824, American, Lucy Larcom, March 5, Quotes by Poets

Letitia Elizabeth Landon Quote: “Ah, tell me not that memory…”

October 3, 2021 1802, August 14, English, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Quotes by Poets

Francesco Guicciardini Quote: “There is nothing so fleeting as…”

August 19, 2021 1939, April 13, Irish, Quotes by Poets, Seamus Heaney

Dorothea Dix Quote: “Always remember those things that tend…”

Always remember those things that tend to strengthen and improve your understanding. You cannot learn without attention, neither retain those lessons that you have once learnt without frequently reflecting upon and reviewing them in your mind; by this means, things long past will remain impressed upon your memory.

August 8, 2021 1802, American, April 4, Dorothea Dix, Quotes by Activists

Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.

July 30, 2021 1823, December 6, German, Max Muller, Quotes by Educators

Kenneth Scott Latourette Quote: “We know something of the history…”

July 18, 2021 1884, American, August 6, Kenneth Scott Latourette, Quotes by Historians

Natasha Trethewey Quote: “It’s so necessary to try and…”

It’s so necessary to try and record the cultural memory of people. To set it down for generations to come. To better understand where we are headed. The problem is, a good portion of what we choose to remember is about willed forgetting. Which we all do, I believe, to protect ourselves from what is too difficult.

July 6, 2021 1966, American, April 26, Natasha Trethewey, Quotes by Poets
