Famous quotes about memory: statements of great personalities

In the 16th century, lived and successfully worked as a teacher and philosopher of English origin, who was interested in politics and influenced, or rather, made a significant contribution to the writing of the American Declaration of Independence. His name is John Locke. So, this wise and educated person once said: "Memory is a copper board covered with letters, which time imperceptibly smoothes, if at times do not renew them with a chisel."

Today's article wants to begin with this quote about memory, because the entire story will be devoted to aphorisms, statements, winged expressions of both memory in general, and its specific aspects: about war, parents, love. The philosopher's statement is remembered for four and a half centuries. This is an indicator that he got to the very bottom when he formulated it.

The memory of the Great Patriotic War must live, otherwise everything was in vain

The heroic feat of the entire Soviet army and every soldier is indisputable, so we, the descendants, simply do not have the right to forget it. Millions of ruined lives, which took the war and erased their traces from the face of the earth, like an eraser in the picture. The same number of broken lives of those who were born and lived at that difficult time. They won for us freedom and a happy sky above the heads.

We must remember this, because every morning, waking up in our cozy beds, we are waiting for the beautiful weather outside the window and a quiet life. On the day of celebration of the anniversary, dedicated to the Victory Day over fascism, on the streets of Russian cities one can see cars decorated with St. George ribbons, and on some even inscriptions inscribed on the glass: "Thanks to Grandfather for Victory!" This is a quote about the memory of the exploit of our soldiers, taken from the same poem by Ed Wild.

While your parents are still alive, you are still a child

Everyone on this earth dreams of never knowing the bitterness of loss and loss. But, unfortunately, this is impossible. Nature twisted the cycle of life, and not us to stop it. The departure of close people pushed many poets and even those who never did writing, to writing lines piercing to the depths of the soul, which later became either masterpieces of poetry, or snapped up on aphorisms.

Among the quotes dedicated to memory, about mother, father and other people most beloved in the world, I would like to note this: "It depends to a large extent on us whether the deceased live in our memories or not." These words came from the pen of the French philosopher Gabriel Honoré Marcel, who lived in the 18th century. Much water has flowed since then, but everything remains as before: the memory of parents continues in children, and while memories live, beloved people are alive in their hearts.

What you remember, remains, and what is forgotten, it is stored in the deepest depths

Why are some moments of our lives forgotten, while others always remain in memory clearly and in great detail? Who decides what to keep, and what information to erase? In the scientific world, there is a well-founded answer to such questions: the more often a person recalls an event or event from his life, the clearer the pictures popping up in his head will be. Conversely, if you think little about the situation, it will gradually be erased from the brain completely. Again, here is very appropriate quote about the memory of the ancient philosopher Cicero: "Memory weakens if it is not exercised."

And in conclusion, a quote from Faina Ranevskaya

I would like to sum up the article on a positive note, and Faina Ranevskaya was able, like nobody else, to create a mood with a single spoken word. Her fans still remember her, and the aphorisms uttered by the actress are read with great pleasure by even those who have never been acquainted with the work of this great woman. Among the quotes she says about memory, she recalls: "We must live so that you and the bastards remember you."
