“You cannot separate the old furniture from the memories and the memories from the old furniture!”
“A house with old furniture has no need of ghosts to be haunted.”
“The faculty of memory cannot be separated from the imagination. They go hand in hand. To one degree or another, we all invent our personal pasts. And for most of us those pasts are built from emotionally colored memories.”
“It’s important to honor your ancestors. Bringing in a piece of furniture or an object you’ve inherited from a loved one not only honors the person who has passed but also brings the warmth of happy memories into your home.”
“Rincewind tried to force the memory out of his mind, but it was rather enjoying itself there, terrorizing the other occupants and kicking over the furniture.”
“He paused again as a tear of longing rolled from cheek to lip with the sweet-salty taste of an old memory.”
