“Three thousand people died at ground zero. Their families are entitled to a little bit of respect, to respect the memory of those poor people that died there. And how about the families of all those soldiers that died in the two ensuing wars? Aren't they entitled to a little bit of respect - the kids, the wives, the parents?” PeopleLittlesTwoWarKidsThreeBitsParentMemoriesPoorWifeThousandLittle BitDiedSoldierZeroEntitledPoor PeopleGround Zero Author:Carl Paladino
“The actual, original 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' I have vague memories of because I was pretty small, but I loved, loved, loved it. I have only those weird, visceral little-kid memories: I remember the extreme flat, two dimensional green that was their skin or the weird pizza with no sauce - it was just like yellow, drippy cheese.” LittlesTwoKidsRememberMemoriesSkinsOriginalsGreenExtremesFlatsYellowCheeseVagueTeenageLittle KidPizzaSauceTurtlesVisceralNinjaMutantsNinja TurtleTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Author:Mae Whitman
“In the broad sense, as a processing of everything one hears or witnesses, all fiction is autobiographical - imagination ground through the mill of memory.

“The death of a friendship was usually slow and insidious, like the wearing away of a hillside after years of too much rain. A handful of misunderstandings, a season of miscommunication, the passing of time, and where once stood two women with a dozen years of memories and tears and conversation and laughter—where once stood two women closer than sisters—now stood two strangers.” YearsTwoMemoriesToo MuchTearsConversationLaughterRainSeasonsStrangerPassingPassingsDozenMisunderstandingHandfulInsidiousMiscommunication Book:The Lost Love Collection: Even Now and Ever After Source: The Lost Love Collection: Even Now and Ever After

“Washington is dead! This great man fought against Tyranny; he established the liberty of his country.

“How I Shed My Skin is, simply put, a brilliant book. While I was reading, I kept thinking two things. One, this is totally shocking. Two, it's not at all shocking, but a familiar part of my life and memory. Grimsley's narrative is straightforward and plain-spoken while at the same time achingly moving and intimately honest, and it does more to explain the South than anything I've read in a long, long time.” ThinkingLongDoeTwoBookMovingReadingMemoriesHonestLong TimeSkinsSouthBrilliantFamiliarNarrativeTwo ThingsShedShockingStraightforward Author:Josephine Humphreys
“In Britain, journalists often view comparisons with our society going back two, three, or seven centuries as more relevant than comparisons going back two, three, or seven decades. Drunkenness centuries ago is more illuminating than comparative sobriety 30 years ago. The distant past, selectively mined for evidence that justifies our current conduct, becomes more important than living memory.” YearsTwoImportantPastThreeMemoriesViewsCenturyEvidenceYears AgoSevenCurrentsDecadesJournalistBritainOur SocietyComparisonJustifyRelevantDrunkennessSobrietyIlluminating Author:Anthony Daniels
