Quote examples
Samuel Lover
Irish Artist
What is wine? It is the grape present in another form; its essence is there, though the fruit which produced it grew thousands of miles away, and perished years ago. So the object of many a tender thought may be spiritually present, in defiance of space - and fond recollections cherished in defiance of time.
Quote examples
James Laughlin
American Poet
Of course a poem is a two-way street. No poem is any good if it doesn't suggest to the reader things from his own mind and recollection that he will read into it, and will add to what the poet has suggested. But I do think poetry readings are very important.
Quote examples
Cesare Pavese
Italian Poet
It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?
Quote examples
Abraham Lincoln
American President
I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.
Quote examples
Hamlin Garland
American Novelist
My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.

American Musician
From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
