“Remembrance of things past.”
William Shakespeare
“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, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.”
“For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past”
Solomon Ibn Gabirol ben Judah
“The past weeks have shown us how much not only we Germans need this remembrance day. With dismay we have had to note that today, even presidents insist on describing the Holocaust as a fairy tale and go so far as to make anti-Semitic remarks.”
Norbert Lammert
“The past weeks have shown us how much not only we Germans need this Remembrance Day.”
“Nothing is more fatal to happiness than the remembrance of happiness”
Andre Gide
“There are stars who's light only reaches the earth long after they have fallen appart. There are people who's remembrance gives light in this world, long after they have passed away. This light shines in our darkest nights on the road we must follow.”
The Talmud
