“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

“A photograph it a souvenir of a memory.
It is not a moment.
It is the looking at the photograph that becomes the moment. Your own moment.”

“And your own life while it's happening to you never has any atmosphere until it's a memory.”

“Sometimes you never feel meaner than the moment you stop being mean.”

“You never know when you're making a memory”

“Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.”

“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”

“Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.”

“Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure and the memory so possessed him that for the moment there was nothing to do but to pretend.”

“Memories were fine, but you couldn't touch them. They were never exactly as the moment had been, & they faded w/ time”
