Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.
A. E. Housman
If a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.
One of the negative sides of a really intense arc as a touring band is there are big gaps in your memory because you're so exhausted.
Aaron Dessner
I have all of the Apple products. Everything I've ever written, I've written on a Mac. My first computer, my roommates and I chipped in, and we got that first Macintosh - 128K. It had as much memory as a greeting card that plays music.
Aaron Sorkin
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
Abraham Lincoln
The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the angels of our nature.
I trust anybody's memory more than I trust mine.
Ad-Rock
A conveyor belt of Think Tank pundits and allied operatives poured into the TV studios, and together they built a fortress around Mrs. Thatcher's memory that was rooted in theories about economics. They did this because economics is the only language that wonks understand.
Adam Curtis
What to do with a leading business that's challenged by a new technology wave without hurting an existing profit stream? The single greatest example of recent memory is Apple's willingness to decimate iPod sales by incorporating all the category-defining product's features into a new gizmo, the iPhone.
Adam Lashinsky
My earliest memory of the Olympics was watching the 1996 Games in Atlanta. I remember everyone being so excited to watch. Seeing the American athletes on the podium, I saw myself. I knew that that was what I wanted to do. I wanted to be one of those athletes on the podium representing their country and bringing home medals.
Adam Rippon
I have a recurring dream where I'm on the run for a horrible thing I did years and years ago. Like, in the dream... because the thing I did was so long ago that it's just a faint memory in my dream, so I'm sort of remembering it as I'm on the run from the police. And I'm totally guilty of it.
Adam Scott
I shall go the way of the open sea, to the lands I knew before you came, and the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me the memory of your name.
Adela Florence Nicolson
I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong and being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, 'Oh, my God. There's no hiding here.'
Adelaide Clemens
I think I'm learning how to release every day. Recognizing that everything you encounter, touch, or love can become part of you, and in essence never disappears, as long as you can recall it to memory or heart. It's all so connected that we lose everything, but also, we never lose anything.
Adrianne Lenker
I have a very bad memory. So I would like a chat bot to just remind me of everything I forget. I spend my entire life on Google trying to remember stuff.
Adwoa Aboah
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
Aeschylus
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
I have a very distinct memory of 'ExciteBike' and making my own courses. I had an obsession with that game.
AJ Lee
I don't remember the very first animation I saw, but the one that stays deepest in my memory is definitely 'Astro Boy.'
Akira Toriyama
I have an old brain but a terrific memory.
Al Lewis
I have a strong memory of the day I was told that my father had a weak heart and that he had to go to the hospital. He died when I was nine years old on the same day that Franklin Roosevelt died; it was his 45th birthday.
I've just got an exceptional memory, if I say so myself.
May I share with you my earliest memory of a political row? It was with my mother, about the Queen - classic Freudian stuff, shrinks would say. I was eight, and refusing to watch the Queen's Christmas Day broadcast.
Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events.
To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.
Memory narrativises itself.
Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
Literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
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.
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Your memory is not my memory.
Many people have this memory of traditional TV documentary-making that aims to portray pure reality, and I just don't see that as the only option.
Food is so heavily connected to memory.
Memory is the thing you forget with.
To be honest, I don't remember what happened in '95, '96 and '97. It was hard years. My memory is deleting.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
Every good tennis player has to have a short memory. Good or bad.
I'm a big believer in sort of sense memory, like using something that you've experienced in order to put yourself in the position that the character is in.
I took Meisner for a long time. I use a lot of sense memory and, well, I wouldn't say Method, but I can't really avoid getting into character.
I remember Karoi as a very hot, flat place, but in reality, it is all hills. We just lived next to an airstrip - the only flat piece of land around. That was my world as a three-year-old and sums up the indelible power of memory to a young child.
Good laughs melt out of memory pretty quickly.
However, my problems with my memory are further complicated by the fact that while I don't have any recollection of things I have actually done, I have very vivid recollections of loads of things that I haven't done.
Of what use is the memory of facts, if not to serve as an example of good or of evil?
A strong emotion, especially if experienced for the first time, leaves a vivid memory of the scene where it occurred.
I'm more verbal and not as private as I was as a kid. I still do a form of sense memory. It honestly depends on the job. It depends on the other people you're working with, how the other actor works.
Perhaps it is because I'm a writer trained in history that I've always assumed I would make mistakes in my drafts. Historians know how faulty human memory can be.
Memory is not pure. Memories told are not pure memories; memories told are stories. The storyteller will change them. I've always been interested in that.
