I think when I listen to old records, it puts me back in the atmosphere of what it felt like to make the record and who was there and what the room looked like. It’s more a sensory memory. – Billy Corgan
I’m horrible at quoting movies! Even my very favorites are not easily recalled or programmed to memory. When people start movie quoting around me, I’m that person who just smiles and then looks up the reference later. – Ashley Rickards
I like very human stories that venture into sci-fi or the supernatural or areas that I think occupy a lot of space in our collective memory for the films that we loved as children. – Colin Trevorrow
I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs all the time. That’s my exercise. – Betty White
Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory. – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
My mother was a reporter, and though she quit when they had kids, she still loved it. She told me about the people at the paper and the articles she wrote. She had the best memory of anyone I know, and she could really tell a tale. – Candace Camp
In the past 3-4 years I’ve developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I’m able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis. – Dwight Yoakam
When I began we did not really have a lot of First Amendment law. It is really surprising to think of it this way, but a lot of the law – most of the law that relates to the First Amendment freedom of the press in America – is really within living memory. – Floyd Abrams
When I was a kid, a pickleball hit me in the back of the head, and I had memory problems. I was in a boarding school and the nuns gave me poems to remember to try and get the memory going again. – C. C. H. Pounder
Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to. – Christina Perri
How cruelly sweet are the echoes that start, When memory plays an old tune on the heart. – Eliza Cook
My first memory – at about four – was of numbers. The doctors who study me think a combination of mild autism and seizures I had when I was three have made me experience numbers the way I do. – Daniel Tammet
There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance. – Gilbert Parker

There was a train that would come by our house every night, and I’d hear the whistle blow. That is the sweetest memory I have. – Cassandra Wilson
I am sometimes asked to name my favourite books. The list changes, depending on my mood, the year, tricks played by memory. I might mention novels by Nabokov and Calvino and Tolkien on one occasion, by Fitzgerald and Baldwin and E.B. White on another. Camus often features, as do Tolstoy, Borges, Morrison and Manto. – Mohsin Hamid
I have never liked the memoir form because I tend to think that memory fictionalizes anyway. Once you claim that you are writing a narrative purely from memory, you are already in the realm of fiction. – Francisco Goldman
Rather than studying the most complex form of memory in a very complicated animal, we had to take the most simple form – an implicit form of memory – in a very simple animal. So I began to look around for very simple animals. And I focused in on the marine snail Aplysia. – Eric Kandel
We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth that’s always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory. – Don Miguel Ruiz
I don’t think I think when I play. I have a photographic memory for chords, and when I’m playing, the right chords appear in my mind like photographs long before I get to them. – Earl Hines
I bow down in memory of the victims, and I come to tell my Armenian friends that we will never forget the tragedies that your people has endured. – Francois Hollande
I have no memory for what happens in what books. I don’t know when I might remember a scene, but beats me what book it’s in because there are 14 of them now. – Donna Leon
