How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view.Samuel Woodworth

From my childhood, I had been fond of religious disputation.
Edward Gibbon
The ultimate in the reflective relationship between memory and recollections is to use memory against recollection. For opposite reasons, two people could wish not to see again a place that reminds them of an event. The one has no inkling at all that there is something called recollection but merely fears the memory. Out of sight, out of mind, he thinks; if only he does not see, then he has forgotten. Precisely because the other wants to recollect, he does not want to see. He uses memory only against unpleasant recollections. .... Strictly speaking, a fellowship of recollection does not exist.
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard
I NEVER loved a dear Gazelle –
Nor anything that cost me much:
High prices profit those who sell,
but why should I be fond of such?Lewis Carroll

Dear as the light that visits these sad eyes;
Dear as the ruddy drops that warm my heart.Thomas Gray
