“It is right that man should love those who have offended him. He will do so when he remembers that all men are his relations, and that it is through ignorance and involuntarily that they sin,--and then we all die so soon.” MenShouldRememberDiesSinIgnoranceForgivenessRelationOffended Author:Marcus Aurelius
“If you wish to collect complimentary material for a record of yourself, never appeal to your relations. They may be proud of you as an asset to the family name, but they have a gift for remembering your gawky period privately, the follies and faults you committed and have forgotten. You may have come up in the world with a laurel on your brow, but if you go back home forty years later wearing two laurels on your brow, and a noble expression, they will miss the point.” IfsWorldYearsMayTwoHomeRememberNamesWishFamilyRecordsMissingExpressionMaterialsProudPeriodsRelationFaultsForgottenCome UpCommittedNobleAppealsFollyFortyAssetsBe ProudBack HomeBrowsLaurelsProud Of YouFamily Name Author:Corra May Harris
“I remember I would not stand still; I would not stop being perplexed by everything that spontaneously attracted me or caught my attention. I would never cease to look around me and observe myself in relation to nature: either crystal clear skies and sun-melting afternoons, or foggy winter days and weirdly tinted nights. I would never cease to dream and stand by the window, ready to let the diversity of life pass freely through my skin; courageous enough to believe I stood a chance in devouring each shade of sensation. Or perhaps, immensely foolish to plainly - believe at all.” BelieveLooksStillsEnoughDreamRememberNightChanceAttentionSunClearSkyReadyDiversityWindowSkinsRelationWinterCaughtFoolishCeaseCourageousSensationsShadeAfternoonCrystalsMeltingDevouringPerplexedWinter DaysDiversity Of LifeClear Skies Author:Virginia Woolf
“So much of the writing is not conscious, in the sense that it's not calculated. I remember in film school we had so many studies with big fancy words where you could dissect a movie and make charts of all of the characters' complicated inner relations and themes and what does this mean? And it's overwhelming as a student. It's great for a student, but as a writer, it's paralyzing.” WritingMeanDoeCharacterBigsSchoolRememberFilmStudyStudentsConsciousRelationComplicatedFancyThemeOverwhelmingFilm School Author:Don Hertzfeldt

“In the United States, Iran is nothing but a whipping-boy. Few Americans have any real use for Iran. Most of us, what we know and remember about Iran are things like the hostage crisis in 1980, or they think about the Iranian attacks in Lebanon, or on the Khobar Towers. So you don't get a whole lot of political mileage in the United States by going out and advocating better relations with the Iranians.” ThinkingRealRememberPoliticalRelationCrisisIranianHostage Author:Kenneth M.

“What I do remember is visualization of the sound of music, seeing bodies in movement in relation to how music sounded, because my mother practiced at the keyboard a lot and I also went to her lessons.

“One question that has always intrigued me is what happens to demonic beings when immigrants move from their homelands. Irish-Americans remember the fairies. Norwegian-Americans the nisser, Greek-Americans the vrykólakas, but only in relation to events remembered in the Old Country. When I once asked why such demons are not seen in America, my informants giggled confusedly and said, 'They're scared to pass the ocean, it's too far,' pointing out that Christ and the apostles never came to American.” SaidCountryHappensAmericaRememberMovingChristCrazyEventsOceanRelationScaredRememberedGreekDemonFairyImmigrantsPointingApostlesHomelandIntriguedDemonicNorwegiansInformants Author:Richard Mercer Dorson
“I have felt the pain that arises from a recognition of beauty, pain we hold when we remember what we are connected to and the delicacy of our relations. It is this tenderness born out of a connection to place that fuels my writing. Writing becomes an act of compassion toward life, the life we so often refuse to see because if we look too closely or feel too deeply, there may be no end to our suffering. But words empower us, move us beyond our suffering, and set us free. This is the sorcery of literature. We are healed by our stories.” IfsFeelsWritingLooksMayEndsStoriesPainRememberMovingSufferingLiteratureFeltBornCompassionConnectionsRelationRefuseConnectedAriseRecognitionEmpoweringFuelTendernessHealedDelicacySorcery Book:An Unspoken Hunger Source: An Unspoken Hunger
