Remember Quotes

What stays with us, in the words of those who lived it.

These quotes revolve around memory in different forms: the fading magic of a childhood holiday, the messy notes an idea leaves behind, and a specific recollection tied to a major public demonstration decades ago. For more reflections on time passing and looking back, see Day quotes.

You know if something is good because you remember the lines because it is written so well. The rhythm of the speech is spot on.

Quotes by Rick Perlstein

As an adult, I've always found the stereotype that Jews are liberal a curious one; my parents' circle was predominantly conservative, not just on Israel but on most political issues. Most of all, they were intensely (and this is a...

Quotes by Rick Perlstein
