“Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odor”
Victor Hugo
“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
“One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence”
Ogden Nash
“Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad”
George Bernard Shaw
“We reminisce a little bit about the run. But usually we argue over which team could go on the same type of run this year.”
Ed Pinckney
“It is good for him to get out and reminisce, ... The stimulation is wonderful.”
David Prescott
“Reminiscence why do you do this when I see things? Don't do this to me. I am so well aware of the days, and memories, for I will never forget. Please don't do it to me anymore.”
Marlene M. Chavez
