I witness with pleasure the supreme achievement of memory, which is the masterly use it makes of innate harmonies when gathering to its fold the suspended and wandering tonalities of the past. Vladimir Nabakov, Speak, Memory
{F}or whatsoever is laid in, embroidered, checkered or engraved of many pieces of divers Colours, may properly be called an Emblem. But metaphorically (or in a figurative manner of Speech) Emblems signify mottos or devices, which point at a mystical or hidden sense of certain pictures. Emblems are speaking pictures, containing general documents, instructions, and morals. Francis Pastorius, Emblematical Recreations
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye. In truth, most normal persons do not meditate much on their own death, but, rather, they look on death as something concerning their neighbors, and othersnot themselves. La Rochefoucauld, Maxims
