Vincent Van GoghAnd the memories of all we have loved stay and come back to us in the evening of our life. They are not dead but sleep, and it is well to gather a treasure of them.
About This Quote
People often speak of the memories of their life. When they speak of treasures or things that they hold dear, it has to do with the memories of the past. The power of nostalgia, of remembering the good times and holding on to them is what makes our lives worth living. The fact that these things are not real is irrelevant, because our minds are more powerful than physical objects. We can go back in time and relive our memories, something that physical objects cannot do.
