Patrick Rosenkranz Quotes & Sayings

How we delight to build our recollections upon some basis of reality,
a place, a country, a local habitation! how the events of life, as we look back upon them, have grown into the well-remembered background of the places where they fell upon us!

where distress or death came once, and since then dwells forevermore. — Washington Irving
