“It is strange how the romances of the teenage years retain a poignancy all through life - how a girl who turns you down when you're 16 retains an aura in your memory even long after you, and she, have ceased to be who you were then. I attended my high school reunion a couple of weeks ago and discovered, in the souvenir booklet assembled by the reunion committee, that one of the girls in my class had a crush on me all those years ago. I would have given a great deal to have had that information at the time.” YearsLongSchoolRomanceTurnsGirlGivenMemoriesDealsClassWeekInformationStrangeCoupleHigh SchoolYears AgoCrushCommitteesTeenageOur MemoriesReunionAurasTeenage YearsSouvenirsPoignancyHigh School ReunionSchool Reunion Book:Roger Ebert's Video Companion Source: Roger Ebert's Video Companion
“I've been moving a little to the music while I worked ...and then I realize I am actually dancing. It feels wonderful, though I can feel how stiff my muscles are, how rigidly I've been holding myself...Mostly I've been moving cautiously, numbly, steeled because I know, at any moment, I may be ambushed by overwhelming grief. You never know when it's coming, the word or gesture or bit of memory that dissolved you entirely...It happens every day at first, then not for a day or two, then there's a week when grief washes in every morning, every afternoon.” KnowsFeelsFirstsMayLittlesI CanTwoMomentsHappensMovingBitsRealizingMemoriesGriefMorningWonderfulWeekDancingMusclesOverwhelmingAfternoonGesturesEvery Morning Author:Mark Doty
“I had some very, very fond memories of the people I worked with and the authors I worked with - and I won't mention any names - but as I have been traveling through rural Maine over the past few weeks, one of my favorite things to do is to go into bookstores on the side of rural routes and paw through the old copies of Tom Clancy and Trevanian books they have in there for weird old 1970s thrillers that I haven't read yet.” PeopleHas BeensBookPastNamesSidesMemoriesWeekHavensMy FavoriteThings To DoCopiesTomsRoutesOver The PastThrillersBookstoresFavorites ThingsMainePawsFond Memories Author:John Hodgman
“Nostalgia doesn't make sense, because it's like bringing the memories back to be a special part of my day or to be part of my week. And I'm inside my memories the same way I'm inside my everyday life.” WayMemoriesWeekSpecialEverydayNostalgiaMake SenseEveryday Life Author:Agnes Varda
