Read through the most famous quotes by topic #recollect




The tortures of present death disturb him not, but the recollection of his fall, fills him with a holy sorrow.


John Strachan

It was funny the way memory obliged the heart. His happy recollections were always afloat in his soupy subconscious where so many of his darker memories had sunk to the underbelly of his past and been as good as lost forever. But without conscious instruction, memory had edited and enlarged the finest moments of his life and stored them like masterpieces in the private gallery of his personal history.


Nanci Kincaid

Scenes had passed in Uppercross which made it precious.

She left it all behind her, all but the recollection that such things had been.


Jane Austen
