I voted for the Gibson as well. Here is a good one by Aldous Huxley, my favourite author in my teens:


"Every man's memory is his private literature."
― Aldous Huxley
"Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se."
― Charles Eames

I like the Cicero and Dewey.

I also like this:- "The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared."
Lois Lowry, The Giver  :)

I like that one.

I voted because I couldn't remember a better one.

I like the Gibson quote best. It resonates with more truth to me than the others.

And Gibson takes the lead!  I'll be honest, I found the Lewis Carroll quote scary.
