Remember Quotes

These quotes revolve around memory in different forms: the fading magic of a childhood holiday, the messy notes an idea leaves behind, and a specific recollection tied to a major public demonstration decades ago. For more reflections on time passing and looking back, see Day quotes.

- Nov 07, 2020
Honestly, I don't remember the last time I had a dream. I don't really sleep often enough to be able to have any dreams.

We must always remember with gratitude and admiration the first sailors who steered their vessels through storms and mists, and increased our knowledge of the lands of ice in the South.
- Music

- Nov 07, 2020
I've been wanting to go into music ever since I can remember. I mean even before I became an actor. I just thought it would be a tough field to break into, so I became an actor instead.
- Big Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up listening to a lot of early '90s hip-hop. I had the debut Wu-Tang album, Biggie, Snoop, that kind of stuff. Hieroglyphics, the Gravediggaz. I remember D.O.C.'s 'The Portrait of a Masterpiece' was something that had a big influence on me.
- Shirt

- Nov 07, 2020
I remember, growing up, you didn't wear an England shirt. The English flag was very much - and still is, to some extent - associated with the far-right movements of the 1980s that I grew up around.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.
- Parents
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really remember much about Kosovo. I only remember growing up in London, where my parents had to basically start from scratch.
- Day

- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, I was born the day war broke out, but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool, you know. I remember when I was a little older, there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.
- Grad School
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think my parents wanted me to be whatever I wanted to be. But I do remember them - when I first moved out to L.A. - sending me applications to grad school for teaching.
- Kiss
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I must have been 15 or 16 when I left Antrim Grammar, but I do remember having my first proper kiss when I lived there.
- Conversation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember very clearly at the first budget review having a pretty direct conversation with the head of manufacturing... We began to get huge improvements in productivity and responsiveness. I got a chance to see that firsthand.
- Old

- Nov 07, 2020
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I remember when your average NFL player would come to the sideline, spit out three bicuspids, Scotch-tape his humerus together and get back out there.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you ever plan to run for office, if you're a teenager, remember everything you do, every tweet, every Facebook posting, every picture you put on Instagram will be there forever for journalists and politicians - for your competition to dig up.
- Memory
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It turns out that my memory is just not that great, so for specific scenes with people doing stuff, sometimes I'd have the details all wrong or I couldn't remember what happened exactly, so I just let that be.
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. He moved away when we were still young, but I remember him like I do all my friends from back then. Then in 1982, Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was on.
- American Culture

- Nov 07, 2020
It is a quirk of American culture that each generation of nonconservatives sees the right-wingers of its own generation as the scary ones, then chooses to remember the right-wingers of the last generation as sort of cuddly.
- Myself

- Nov 07, 2020
As an adult, I've always found the stereotype that Jews are liberal a curious one; my parents' circle was predominantly conservative, not just on Israel but on most political issues. Most of all, they were intensely (and this is a word I remember repeating in my own angry adolescent dialogues with myself) tribal.
