“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
Walter Benjamin
“I am not one to reminisce,”
Lindsay Davenport
“One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence”
Ogden Nash
“Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad”
George Bernard Shaw
“Two years ago we lost Sorrell Brooke to cancer. At his funeral, the whole cast came together and reminisced about Sorrell, Boss Hogg and all the fun we had shooting the series. Right then and there, John, Tom and I decided it was time to return to Hazzard and honor our pal.”
Catherine Bach
“Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odor”
Victor Hugo
“When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive. An old farmer spoke up and said if they stopped building the schools they would not save anything, because every time a school was closed a jail had to be built.”
Mark Twain
