I could spend the whole afternoon telling you about him, but it's not gonna do much good, is it? You never smelled his hair after he just got out of the bath, or carried him from the car after he'd fallen asleep on the way home, or heard the way he laughed when someone tickled him. So you'll just have to take my word for it: He was a great kid and he made you glad to be alive. ~ Tom Perrotta
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Tom Perrotta
Now that I have opened that bottle of memories they're pouring out like wine, crimson and bittersweet. ~ Ellen Hopkins
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Ellen Hopkins
At my age, you not only have bittersweet memories, you make bittersweet plans. ~ Robert Breault
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Robert Breault
I felt my heart skip a beat, just one, but it was enough that I took notice. It was nice to know that the poor thing wasn't too wounded to get up and try again. It had been beaten, bruised, and bloodied, broken in two and wrapped up again, but it was still there, still thumping away for one more chance at that perfect kiss, that perfect person that could take the darkness and the bad memories and the anger and push it all away again, bring out the sun and light up my soul. ~ C.M. Stunich
Bittersweet Memories quotes by C.M. Stunich
I led me by the hand, as if to fill the niches in the memories in my oozing brain fluid. Without even a destination, we kept walking. Disgusting clouds were floating in the sky. I already know what will happen to me the next time I wake up. ~ Sui Ishida
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Sui Ishida
Our legacy is not found in all the 'stuff' we've accumulated on our life's journey. It's written in the memories of those whose lives we've touched along the way. ~ Justin Young
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Justin Young
I am filled time and again
with a heart-aching wonder
when I think

of the fire
and frost of memories

of the everlastingness
of love

the solace
of family
and the power
of prayer. ~ Sanober Khan
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Sanober Khan
The raw materials of photography are light and time and memory. ~ Keith Carter
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Keith Carter
Souls were webs of light that contained the essence of a human's life. Memories and loves, children and families. Every moment of life, pressing in ~ Carolyn Turgeon
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Carolyn Turgeon
The president who is most slandered as Hitler will probably prove to be the most zealous advocate of democratic government abroad, the staunchest friend of beleaguered Israel, and the greatest promoter of global individual freedom in our recent memory. ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Victor Davis Hanson
You will live to love again. You know you have lost your springtime girl, your Molly on the beach with the wind in her brown hair and red cloak. You have been gone too long from her, and too much has befallen you both. And what you loved, what both of you truly loved, was not each other. It was the time of your life. It was the spring of your years, and life running strong in you, and war on your doorstep and your strong, perfect bodies. Look back, in truth. You will find you recall fully as many quarrels and tears as you do lovemaking and kisses. Fitz. Be wise. Let her go, and keep those memories intact. Save what you can of her, and let her keep what she can of the wild and daring boy she loved. Because both he and that merry little miss are no more than memories anymore." She shook her head. "No more than memories. ~ Robin Hobb
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Robin Hobb
After you're dead and buried and floating around whatever place we go to, what's going to be your best memory of earth? What one moment for you defines what it's like to be alive on this planet. What's your takeaway? Fake yuppie experiences that you had to spend money on, like white water rafting or elephant rides in Thailand don't count. I want to hear some small moment from your life that proves you're really alive. ~ Douglas Coupland
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Douglas Coupland
Songs can be like photos - they hold a memory, a moment, and thoughts that keep you warm inside. ~ Judy Moore
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Judy Moore
Time heals nothing, it merely rearranges our memory. ~ Gary Numan
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Gary Numan
Shopping is a wonderful stress reliever, so take your loved ones shopping.

Shop for experience;
Shop for knowledge;
Shop for awe;
Shop for memories that will last you a lifetime. ~ Erwin D. Maramat
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Erwin D. Maramat
Hyperarousal causes traumatized people to become easily distressed by unexpected stimuli. Their tendency to be triggered into reliving traumatic memories illustrates how their perceptions have become excessively focused on the involuntary search for the similarities between the present and their traumatic past. As a consequence, many neutral experiences become reinterpreted as being associated with the traumatic past. ~ Marion F. Solomon
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Marion F. Solomon
The museums and parks are graveyards above the ground- congealed memories of the past that act as a pretext for reality. ~ Robert Smithson
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Robert Smithson
There is, perhaps, one universal truth about all forms of human cognition: the ability to deal with knowledge is hugely exceeded by the potential knowledge contained in man's environment. To cope with this diversity, man's perception, his memory, and his thought processes early become governed by strategies for protecting his limited capacities from the confusion of overloading. We tend to perceive things schematically, for example, rather than in detail, or we represent a class of diverse things by some sort of averaged typical instance. ~ Jerome Bruner
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Jerome Bruner
It was hard when I knew I was about to be flooded with memories of a life I hadn't lived yet. Really, two lives I hadn't lived yet. ~ Kasie West
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Kasie West
Over the last week, if there's anything I've learned, it's that you're only who you choose to be. Every moment. The past is gone. Memories are no more solid than dreams. The only real thing, the only true thing, is the present. That's it."
-- "So the things we've done don't count?"
"Of course they do. But we can decide how much. ​And we can decide what we want the present to be like. We can live it however we want. ~ Marcus Sakey
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Marcus Sakey
What is a human mind? Memories. Memories are data. Character, personality, individual volition. Those are programming. ~ George R R Martin
Bittersweet Memories quotes by George R R Martin
As hard as I have tried to remember the exact moment when I fell in love with God, I cannot do it. My earliest memories are bathed in a kind of golden light that seemed to embrace me as surely as my mother's arms. The divine presence was strongest outdoors, and most palpable when I was alone. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
You get used to it, you act friendly, and you become a
shell of your former self.
At some point, you would package this situation, labeling
it as "every day", and send it to the depths of your
memories. There was no doubt you would try to justify it
as something like a memory as well.
"Time was the medicine to everything."
But that was wrong. Time was nothing but a slow
inducing poison. It gradually eroded things of the past,
with the only purpose of ending things and forcing you
into resignation. ~ Wataru Watari
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Wataru Watari
I was right outside the NSA [on 9/11], so I remember the tension on that day. I remember hearing on the radio, 'the plane's hitting,' and I remember thinking my grandfather, who worked for the FBI at the time, was in the Pentagon when the plane hit it ... I take the threat of terrorism seriously, and I think we all do. And I think it's really disingenuous for the government to invoke and sort-of scandalize our memories to sort-of exploit the national trauma that we all suffered together and worked so hard to come through
and to justify programs that have never been shown to keep us safe, but cost us liberties and freedoms that we don't need to give up, and that our Constitution says we should not give up. ~ Edward Snowden
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Edward Snowden
Instead of feeding the memories with resistance, I starved them with acceptance. I denied them the attention they demanded. I refused to give my abuser that kind of power over me. The monsters under my bed would be there by invitation only. ~ Dennis Randall
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Dennis Randall
Tanya Ward Goodman, writing with a big heart, clear eyes, and a light touch, allows us a privileged glimpse into the shabby, enchanted world of traveling carnivals, roadside attractions, and a beloved, eccentric father's descent into Alzheimers. Just as her dad animated the handcarved, miniature western world of Tinkertown from coat hangers, inner tubes and old sewing machine motors, Tanya Ward Goodman has fashioned her complex and often hilarious memories into a beguiling, wry, and moving work of art. ~ Michelle Huneven
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Michelle Huneven
One look at each other and it was immediately understood that they both needed a clean slate,,, The obliteration of memory. ~ Colum McCann
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Colum McCann
The man that I named the Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things.
[from her Newberry Award acceptance speech] ~ Lois Lowry
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Lois Lowry
Your lips and mine, two sips of wine, memories are made of this. ~ Dean Martin
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Dean Martin
Most of us have no idea what we can do because we are totally conditioned by the past. Our memories, beliefs, assumptions, prejudices, and stresses conspire to trap us in one boundary after another. We need to escape from this. ~ Deepak Chopra
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Deepak Chopra
We couldn't understand because we were too far ... and could not remember because we were traveling in the night of first ages, those ages that had gone, leaving hardly a sign ... and no memories. ~ Joseph Conrad
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Joseph Conrad
How memories lie to us. How time coats the ordinary with gold. How it breaks the heart to go back and attempt to re-live them. How crushed we are when we discover that the gold was merely gold-plating thinly coated over lead, chalk and peeling paint. ~ Henry Rollins
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Henry Rollins
A noisy parade of memories that frustrate her because of the way they play themselves out. These memories-it feels like she's back there in the moment, like she has the moment to do over and make different choices than she made. But she can't, because they're just memories and they're set down permanent as if they were chiseled in marble, and so she just has to watch herself do the same things over and over and it's a condemnation if it's anything. ~ Alden Bell
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Alden Bell
Biting my lip, I trace the cigarette-butt scars along Jeb's bared torso. I've often wished he could replace all those bad memories with the good ones we've made together since. But now, more than ever, I realize how important every memory is, bad or good, because they shape who we become. ~ A.G. Howard
Bittersweet Memories quotes by A.G. Howard
I had only one desire: to leave, to walk, to die, whatever. I wanted to get away, never come back, disappear, melt away into the forest, the clouds, no longer have memories, forget, forget. ~ Agota Kristf
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Agota Kristf
The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting ~ Milan Kundera
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Milan Kundera
Then trust me. I think the safest place for me is with you, and I won't regret it. I don't regret anything. The things that we do and the things that happen ... to us," I gulped and pushed down memories, "make us who we are. ~ Shelly Crane
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Shelly Crane
What we learn through sharing our memories and our sadness's and our little victories with each other is that it's okay to feel sad. Or lost. Or angry. It's okay to feel a whole host of things that other people might not understand, and often for a long time. Everyone has his or her own journey. We don't judge. ~ Jojo Moyes
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Jojo Moyes
The reason why research is like sculpting from memory is that in neither is there a concrete visible subject to copy directly. The subject - as sculptors themselves are fond of saying - is hidden in the block of material. ~ Jacques Barzun
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Jacques Barzun
The niceties of existence were not a matter of concern, yet everything around was closed down most of the time. If you lived in a middle-class community in Chicago, children and adults came daily to the door saying, 'We are starving, how about a potato?' I speak from poignant memory. ~ Paul Samuelson
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Paul Samuelson
One of my earliest memories was me singing 'Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin' at the top of my voice when I was seven. I got totally carried away. My grandmother, Sarah, was in the next room. I didn't even realise she was there. I was terribly embarrassed. ~ James Taylor
Bittersweet Memories quotes by James Taylor
You are well equipped with an incredible potential for absorbing knowledge. Let your imagination, the key to learning and memory, unleash that brain power and propel you along at ever-increasing speeds. It's not an exclusive path with access granted only to those with a special gift for learning. It is, instead, available to everyone who has a brain. Anything's possible. ~ Dominic O'Brien
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Dominic O'Brien
I'm a horrible historian. My memory is bad. I read things and then I forget them. I can't understand dates and I can't measure time. Time is confusing to me. That's why I do a lot of manipulations of time in my books, in part because an orderly time is physically difficult for me to conceive of in my brain. ~ Lucy Corin
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Lucy Corin
All good things that happen today are a part of golden memories in future. ~ Saravana Kumar Murugan
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Saravana Kumar Murugan
I? Why hadn't I trusted myself? Because I'd trusted the woman across the street instead, that's why. That grown up. That Assistant Principal. So in a way, it had been my fault. But in another way, not. But no matter whose fault it was, I still had bruises on my arms. And now, memories I didn't want. ~ Kristen D. Randle
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Kristen D. Randle
Even now, so many years later, all this is somehow a very evil memory. I have many evil memories now, but ... hadn't I better end my "Notes" here? I believe I made a mistake in beginning to write them, anyway I have felt ashamed all the time I've been writing this story; so it's hardly literature so much as a corrective punishment. Why, to tell long stories, showing how I have spoiled my life through morally rotting in my corner, through lack of fitting environment, through divorce from real life, and rankling spite in my underground world, would certainly not be interesting; a novel needs a hero, and all the traits for an anti-hero are expressly gathered together here, and what matters most, it all produces an unpleasant impression, for we are all divorced from life, we are all cripples, every one of us, more or less. We are so divorced from it that we feel at once a sort of loathing for real life, and so cannot bear to be reminded of it. Why, we have come almost to looking upon real life as an effort, almost as hard work, and we are all privately agreed that it is better in books. And why do we fuss and fume sometimes? Why are we perverse and ask for something else? We don't know what ourselves. It would be the worse for us if our petulant prayers were answered. Come, try, give any one of us, for instance, a little more independence, untie our hands, widen the spheres of our activity, relax the control and we ... yes, I assure you ... we should be begging to be under contro ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Bittersweet Memories quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Photos're better than nothing, but things're better than photos 'cause the things themselves were part of what was there. ~ David Mitchell
