That past is still within our living memory, a time when neighbour helped neighbour, sharing what little they had out of necessity, as well as decency.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we really forget how connected we are to the past.
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.
Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.
Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.
I don't believe necessarily the past is in the past. It's eternal, it's all around us.
Since I was a very small child, I've had a kind of reverence for the past, and I felt a very intimate connection with it.
Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.
The past is what the past is.
