…our recollections bring out our joyful smiles, but hardly make us chortle or guffaw; our recollections often leave imprints on our faces that show our regrets, but they hardly produce sounds that echo the depth of those regrets.

About This Quote

The author of the quote, Francis Bacon, was referring to the fact that our memories are meant to be pleasant, but rarely do they lead us to laugh. The best moments in our lives may consist of happy times, or happy people. But too often these recollections bring out tears and sorrow rather than laughter. That is because the memory of a time we were hurt is not as easily forgotten as a time we were happy with someone.
