“We don’t remember days, we remember moments.” “The real moment has disappeared but you will always have the memories to remind you.” “While things may change, some memories can last forever.” “Never forget those memories of your life that made you both cry and laugh.” “Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.” – L.M. “The memories you create with the ideal people are beautiful.” “There are some experiences in life that you can never forget.” “Memories are the treasures that you never want to lose.” “At some part of life or the other, we all become memories for others. “Humans, not places, make memories.” – Ama Ata Aidoo
We are strangers to each other but with lots of memories.” But they’re also what tears you apart.” – Haruki Murakami “Memories are what warms you up from the inside. “Making and reliving them whenever you want is the best thing about memories.” “He was still too young to know that the heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past.” – Gabriel García Márquez “A memory is a photograph taken by the heart to make a special moment last forever.” Memories need to be shared.” – Lois Lowry “The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. “There are memories that time does not erase… Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable.” – Cassandra Clare Use them to make your meaning clear.“It takes one thought, one second, one moment or positive memory to act as a catalyst for the light to gradually seep in again.” – Fearne Cotton Now it is a good memory, but it once was not.Įnglish has lots of words. Which implies that it has not always been a good memory.īut again, there is no need to imply. If you want to suggest without affirming a change, you can say Some may interpret it that way because it is not explicit.
Of course, there is no need to imply anything.ĭoes not entail that at some past times it was not a good memory. If, however, you wanted to imply that it is no longer a good memory, it is clearer to say The language leaves that open though some may interpret, correctly or incorrectly, the ambiguity as deliberate. That does not entail that the memory is good or not good now. People do not always strive for the best expression, especially in speech and informal writing. You need to realize that even native speakers do not always use English with skill. The expression "I remember it fondly" is useful. Now I find I have two memories (or mental pictures) ofīy the way, as well as happy/unhappy memories we talk about pleasant/unpleasant ones and fond ones. I went back to visit it recently and realised it was only a muddy pond in a I had happy memories of a lake in a forest I used to visit as a child. You might also say, "I have happy memories of our first few years together: before it all went wrong." Perhaps you discovered something ghastly about the place/person.
If you tell us you had, or used to have, happy memories of somewhere or someone, we will expect you to explain why they are no longer happy. If your memories of X are (present tense) happy ones, it is enough to say, "I have happy memories of X." Secondly, we generally speak of memories (plural): "I have happy memories of that place." Or we might say, "I never liked that place, though I do have one happy memory of it." To say, "I have a happy memory of him" is unusual, and you will certainly be asked for details: what is this one happy memory? Good memories may simply be clear or accurate ones. Firstly, it might be a bit confusing to speak about good memories.
