For today’s A to Z Challenge, I am sharing my favorite quotes on memory. Which one do you like best and why?
I’ve learned that people will forget what you’ve said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou
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. Salvador Dali
A theory of creativity is just a metaphor. A pool of ideas, a well of memories, a voice. Jane Smiley
A society is defined as much by how it comes to terms with its past as by its attitude toward the future: its memories are no less revealing than its aims. Octavio Paz
Everyone needs his memories. They keep the wolf of insignificance from the door. Saul Bellow
Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relieve them. Bob Dylan
I like the Maya Angelou quote because it’s so true. If you can make people feel you can also make them remember other things too.
Tasha
Tasha’s Thinkings – Movie Monsters
That’s why I started with that one. It really does say it all.
I love these quotes, especially the one by Maya Angelou. What a mantra to live by.
