Memory is the
cabinet of the imagination, the treasury of reason, the
registry of conscience, and, the council chamber of thought.
-- Basile
Like
ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of
life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the
text.

1982-1940, German Critic,
Philosopher
Memory is not
an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is
the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium
in which dead cities lie interred.
-- Walter Benjamin
1982-1940, German Critic,
Philosopher
The charm, one

hunk of melon in the dust.
-- Elizabeth Bowen
1899-1973, Anglo-Irish
Novelist

As with most
fine things, chocolate has its season. There is a simple
memory aid that you can use to determine whether it is the
correct time to order chocolate dishes: any month whose name
contains the letter A, E, or U is the proper time for
chocolate.
-- Sandra Boynton
American Cartoonist
There is not
any memory with less satisfaction than the memory of some
temptation we resisted.
-- James Branch Cabell
1879-1958, American Author
If I could
remember your name, I'd ask you where I left my keys.
-- Bumper Sticker
I can only
wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire
life.
