“There is no death, daughter.

People die only when we forget them,’

my mother explained shortly before she left me.

‘If you can remember me,

I will be with you always.”

.

“Beauty exists not in what is seen and remembered,

but in what is felt and never forgotten.”

.

Johnathan Jena

“And even if we are occupied by most important things,

if we attain to honour,

or fall into great misfortune –

– still let us remember how good it was once here,

when we were all together,

united by a good and kind feeling

which made us…better perhaps than we are.”

.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’

I do not agree. The wounds remain.

In time, the mind, protecting its sanity,

covers them with scar tissue

and the pain lessens.

But it is never gone.”

.

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

“You must learn some of my philosophy.

Think only of the past as its remembrance

gives you pleasure.”
