Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.

Marcel Proust

Remembrance restores possibility to the past, making what happened incomplete and completing what never was. Remembrance is neither what happened nor what did not happen but, rather, their potentialization, their becoming possible once again.

Giorgio Agamben

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

William Shakespeare

I read "Remembrance of Things Past" in the original French. I never start the day without reading me some [Marcel] Proust.

Dave Barry

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

Julia Ward Howe

Please follow the counsel you have been given in the past and maintain your personal journals. Those who keep a book of remembrance are more likely to keep the Lord in remembrance in their daily lives. Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity.

Spencer W. Kimball

The remembrance of past misery is sweet.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

There is pleasure in calm remembrance of a past sorrow.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.

Khalil Gibran

Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.

Jane Austen

Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.

Ovid

Past life knowledge is not the wedding album of existence. Past life remembrance in Buddhism is the ability to bring a greater awareness we had in another life into this life.
