A person without a proverb

 A person without a memory is either a child or an amnesiac. A country without a memory is neither a child nor an amnesiac, but neither is it a country.

 It's always been our aim to keep the memory of Pan Am 103 alive in this amnesiac country we live in,

 I think when you lose a child, pretty much you're willing to do anything to get that child back or the memory of that child back, to actually cross that line, ... you're never quite sure. Do they just go into this kind of crazed insanity because of the pain? Or is it really true? It's a fine line.

 the courts in this country, every single day, make determinations with regard to what is in the best interest of the child. There is no automatic law, as far as we're concerned, that says simply because you are the parent of the child that you automatically -- no matter what -- have custody of that child.

 Germany has signed the Hague Convention, which means that they agree that if a child is kidnapped to Germany, to return that child to the country wherever that child came from. Yet, in only about a fifth of the cases do they do this.

 The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory. Other Voices, Other Rooms, 1948
  Truman Capote

 Their view of the child's welfare is such -- and it's so distorted -- that there's no way they can conceive of a child ever being better off in any country outside of Germany. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through. Their view of the child's welfare is such -- and it's so distorted -- that there's no way they can conceive of a child ever being better off in any country outside of Germany.

 This ought not to be a partisan issue. Democrats and Republicans ought to be able to find common ground on seeing to it that we have accessible, affordable and quality child for every needy child in this country,

 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

 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

 I've got every Dr Seuss book there is. Everything was red, like the sky was on fire. That was a memory that I could see really clearly as a child, a very visual image.

 We are an amnesiac culture. If you are not out there self-promoting at every junction, you're not going to be remembered.

 Memory is the friend of wit, but the treacherous ally of invention; there are many books that owe their success to two things; good memory of those who write them, and the bad memory of those who read them

 A country without a memory is a country of madmen.
  George Santayana
