P. C. CastWhen I listen to Airplanes record, it takes me back. I remember a lot of my thought processes when I was 20 or 21, writing those songs and recording that record.

Maybe I can make music that in some capacity people will enjoy and come see me play."
Ben GibbardOne often feels as though something had happened before, I remember.

Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child.

Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.

Claire MorganThe thing is, you don't get to know. It's not like you wake up with a bad feeling in your stomach. You don't see shadows where there shouldn't be any. You don't remember to tell your parents you love them or--in my case--remember to say good-bye to them at all.

Thomas S. MonsonI can't understand how people can settle for having just one life. I remember we were in English class and we were talking about that poem by - that one guy. David Frost.

'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could, to where it bent in the undergrowth-" "I loved that poem.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.
Walker PercyUse your mind. Remember. Observe. You are not different from others. Most of their experiences are valid for you too.

Remember, you cannot abandon what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
