Quotations are the fundamental distillation of a writer’s life and thinking as recorded in words and phrases for posterity. Through them the reader is afforded the unique opportunity to share in the thoughts, the life and the experiences of the writer. In a special way, they offer the reader a window into the mind of the author and hopefully an inducement to read further and learn more about the author and the story he relates.

On a wider scale, they are, as William Feather wrote, “the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages preserved into perpetuity“, and as such they are available for the enrichment and enhancement of humanity, regardless of age, sex, race, educational or economic status. They are indeed, as the Talmud states, “food for the famished”.

The collection of quotations presented in this blog, have been chosen by me because of their special impact upon me. They have been published so that you too, may experience the joy I have had over the years reading them and getting to know the authors.

I trust that you will come to know the feeling of deep satisfaction possible from reading them, searching out the author and meditating upon their meaning and their impact on your life.

MEMORIES

Memories are the treasures locked deep within the storehouse of our souls;
To keep our hearts warm when we are lonely. …….Becky Aligada

Take care of all your Memories, for you cannot relive them. ......Bob Dylan

We must always have old Memories and young hopes. ........Arsene Houssave

The richness of life lies in Memories we have forgotten ……Cesare Pavese

Our Memories are the only paradise, from which we can never be expelled. …….Jean Paul Richter

It's surprising how much Memory is built around things unnoticed at the time. ……..Barbara Kingsolver

Anyone who limits her vision to Memories of yesterday is already dead. ……..Lillie Langtry
