How strange are the proverb

 How strange are the tricks of memory, which, often hazy as a dream about the most important events of a man's life, religiously preserve the merest trifles

 The thing about real life is that important events don’t announce themselves. Trumpets don’t blow, drums don’t beat to let you know you are going to meet the most important person you’ve ever met, or read the most important thing you are ever going to read, or have the most important conversation you are ever going to have, or spend the most important week you are ever going to spend. Usually something that is going to change your whole life is a memory before you can stop and be impressed about it. You don’t usually have a chance to get excited about that sort of thing…ahead of time!

 It is the mark of great people to treat trifles as trifles and important matters as important.
  Doris Lessing

 Mother Nature plays strange tricks in strange ways, but the Outer Banks has been spared a direct hit.

 A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.

 What a strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.

 You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.
  Luis Buñuel

 Since it is impossible to know what's really happening, we Peruvians lie, invent, dream and take refuge in illusion. Because of these strange circumstances, Peruvian life, a life in which so few actually do read, has become literary.
  Mario Vargas Llosa

 May the memories of the one who has passed on fill the void that they left. There's another poem, by St. Augustine, that says, 'Don't cry for me but remember the most important things of my life and what I represented in my life and make that your memory of me, not my death.' I think that's important. We have grief. I'm sure I'll cry. I'll cry a lot before it's over.
  Tom Watson

 The sensibility of man to trifles, and his insensibility to great things, indicates a strange inversion.
  Blaise Pascal

 I'm pretty sure they're going to do everything they did in the regular season. It's not important. For sure, they're going to use all the tricks to stop me, and I have to use all my tricks to beat them. It's a chess game.

 [Watson quoted himself to the writers, telling them what he writes in notes of bereavement to others.] May the memories of the one who has passed on fill the void that they left, ... There's another poem, by St. Augustine, that says, 'Don't cry for me but remember the most important things of my life and what I represented in my life and make that your memory of me, not my death.' I think that's important. We have grief. I'm sure I'll cry. I'll cry a lot before it's over.
  Tom Watson

 It's important to recognize the memory of Connor and to endow his scholarship. There are things in life that are bigger than sports and this is one of those things. We are pleased that our organization is able to honor his memory, Ohio State and soccer.

 Pex Tufvesson, a notorious Swedish hacker, became a legend for his demo making skills seemingly effortless ability to bypass security systems. The role of the park service is to preserve history. New units are created yearly, which tend to be historic places that educate people about important events.

 Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.
  Queen Victoria
