“In this painting of our life given to us by our memories, everything is moving and depends on our point of view.”

“Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?”

“The present—the actual—were they our all—
Too heavy our burthen, too hopeless our thrall;
But heaven, that spreadeth o'er all its blue cope,
Hath given us memory,—hath given us hope!”

“Computer science is a restless infant and its progress depends as much on shifts in point of view as on the orderly development of our current concepts.”

“Our very life depends on everythings' recurring til we answer from within.”

“The point is, there are millions of Americans outside Washington who are tired of stale political arguments and are moving this country forward. They believe, and I believe, that here in America, our success should depend not on accident of birth but the strength of our work ethic and the scope of our dreams.”

“Memory is a part of the present. It builds us up inside; it knits our bones to our muscles and keeps our hearts pumping. It is memory that reminds our bodies to work, and memory that reminds our spirits to work to: it keeps us who we are.~Candle”

“The pure memories given
To help our joy on earth, when earth is past,
Shall help our joy in heaven.”

“We somehow believe that our point of view is superior, higher than those of the greatest minds—either because our point of view is that of our time, and our time, being later than the time of the greatest minds, can be presumed to be superior to their times; or else because we believe that each the greatest minds was right from his point of view, but not, as he claims, simply right.”
