Famous quotes containing the words amnesia and/or fortnight:
“We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?”

“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
