“Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odor”
Victor Hugo
“One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence”
Ogden Nash
“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
“Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad”
George Bernard Shaw
“It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“That's what makes it hard to come here and do this and see all these guys and reminisce and laugh and have a good time the way that we did all season long. Because I know I'm not going to be able to see these guys for a while.”
Aaron Rowand
“It's good to reminisce. But that game has no effect on how this game's gonna be played.”
Marques Hagans
“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
“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
“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
