8 Sad & Painful Memories Quotes

I cry for the memories I’ve left behind,
I cry for the pain, the lost, the old, the new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.”

Conclusion: Why Do We Have Memories?

The goal for this page is to rekindle sweet memories – be it with a friend, a lover, or with family – so you can reminisce on all the joyful and happy moments that unbeknownst to you, slipped through your fingers like butter.

“Some things are meant to be remembered that is the reason why God gave us memories.”

Appreciating in the collection of past events is one thing; being obsessed with the past is another.

Fortunately, based on scientific studies, when enough given time, most of us are able to move on from our past.

I hope you have a lovingly moment revisiting your memories with the support of the quotes below.

You only need a few quotes that you can deeply resonate with to bring those sweet memories back.

“Memory is the foundation of all wisdom known to man.”

(MUST READ)

My sweetest memories were the ones that hurt the most…

But we shouldn’t fear…

Just because we think we have enough sweet memories does not mean we should stop trying to strive for more memories in the future.

Life is about giving our best even at the risk of hurt later.

To conclude this, I want to share with you a quote that made me felt a lot better when I first read it.

Memories will forever be with us but we have to accept the fact that life is all about making memories.

I do not know what the future may hold but one thing I know for sure is that we will continue to make more memories – whether if we like it or not.

We might as well seize the opportunity to make the BEST memories – both for others and ourselves.

Never stop giving! Never stop living!

Sincerely,
Jeremiah Say

Хорошая память — залог успеха любой деятельности. Изучая английский, мы каждый день запоминаем новые слова, правила, выражения. И конечно же, не упускаем случая пожаловаться на память, когда забываем нужное слово или фразу. Так или иначе, тема памяти, воспоминаний, забывания возникает в наших разговорах, поэтому эту статью мы посвятили памяти, а если быть точными, тем словам и устойчивым выражениям, которые сочетаются со словом «mеmory». Давайте же «прокачаем» наш словарный запас, и обогатим его полезной лексикой по теме «Память». Лучший способ усвоить новые слова и выражения — рассматривать их в контексте. Поэтому наша статья полна примеров и различных ситуаций, иллюстрирующих значения и употребление.

Ключевое слово этой статьи memory (память).

Хорошую память можно охарактеризовать многими прилагательными. Давайте рассмотрим примеры с ними:

Если вы хорошо или плохо запоминаете определенный тип информации, то используйте предлог for: good memory for; bad memory for:

От слова memory происходит много других слов:

Memo: памятка, уведомительная записка:

The secretary will send you a memo with instructions. — Секретарь отправит вам записку с инструкицями.

Memoirs [‘memwɑːz] — воспоминания, мемуары:

Memorial — памятник, монумент:

There is a war memorial in the central square. — На центральной площади находился памятник.

Memorials — воспоминания, мемуары, летописи:

The first memorials of the city date back to the 5th century. — Самые первые упоминания города датируются пятым веком.

Прилагательное memorable — памятный, запоминающийся; синоним: unforgettable:

Давайте рассмотрим примеры, которые иллюстрируют значение и использование устойчивых сочетаний со словом memory:

Если вы не уверены, правильно ли вы помните что-то, или не можете положиться на свою память, используйте вводные выражения:

Memory — не только память, но еще и воспоминание. Воспоминания бывают положительными и отрицательными. Рассмотрим устойчивые выражения:

Глаголы remember, memorise, remind, recall.

От существительного memory происходят соответствующие глаголы memorise и remember. Различие между глаголами в том, что memorise — запоминать осознанно, стараться удержать в памяти, заучивать, а remember — запоминать, помнить, вспоминать:

Remind — напоминать, делать напоминание, глагол remind сочетается с предлогом of (не about):

This photo reminds me of Paris. — Эта фотография напоминает мне Париж.
I want to remind you that you are not allowed to send personal e-mails. — Я хочу напомнить вам, что отправлять личные письма запрещено.

Recall — вызывать в памяти, вспоминать, вызывать воспоминания. Иногда говорят recall to mind:

I’m sure, his birthday is in March, but I can’t recall the date to mind. — Я уверен, его день рождения в марте, но я не могу припомнить дату.

Забывание и вспоминание

Главная проблема памяти — то, что мы склонны забывать. Часто мы из памяти ускользает то,  что нужно помнить.  Если у человека «короткая помять» и он все забывает, то его можно назвать забывчивым forgetful [fə’getf(ə)l] или рассеянным absent-minded [[ˌæbs(ə)nt’maɪndɪd].

Взглянем на ряд словосочетаний, которые относятся к процессу забывания:

А иногда бывает так, что хочешь извлечь из памяти нужное слово или другую информацию, и никак не можешь вспомнить, то можно использовать выражение on the tip of my tongue:

When I speak English, I sometimes can’t remember words, but they are on the tip of my tongue. — Когда я говорю на английском, я иногда не могу припомнить слов, но они вертятся у меня на языке.

Если какая-то деталь вам что-то напоминает, но вы никак не можете понять что именно, вам пригодится выражение it rings s bell:

What is the noise? It rings a bell, but I can’t remember exactly what it is. — Что это за звук? Он что-то мне напоминает, но я не могу понять что именно.

Если вы не можете что-то вспомнить, вы можете попросить подсказку: a clue:

I won’t remember the name of this actress unless you give me a clue. — Я не вспомню имя это актрисы, если ты не подскажешь мне.

Conclusion

Go to table of contents

Memory is the seamstress, and a capricious one at that. Memory runs her needle in and out, up and down, hither and thither. We know not what comes next, or what follows after. Thus, the most ordinary movement in the world, such as sitting down at a table and pulling the inkstand towards one, may agitate a thousand odd, disconnected fragments, now bright, now dim, hanging and bobbing and dipping and flaunting, like the underlinen of a family of fourteen on a line in a gale of wind. Virginia Woolf

It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over. Paulo Coelho

Let’s recap:

• Memories are treasures. Make sure you cherish the good ones.
• For the memories you can’t change, you must accept.
• It’s useless to have regrets. Remember: we all make mistakes. You did your best with what you had.
• You have been hurt? Forgive, then move on.
• Want inner peace? Stop living in the past. Detach yourself from the known. Live now!
