As part of the Catholic tradition, November is the month of remembrance. Throughout November, we remember and pray for those who have passed away, especially our loved ones. The month begins with All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1^st and 2^nd, respectively. I have always found quotations to be a way of encapsulating emotions and truths I know, but cannot articulate myself. As Gus says in "The Fault in Our Stars," “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” This quotation is one of my favorites because it does a perfect job expressing what cannot be expressed. In honor of the month of remembrance, here are 13 quotations that convey remembrance; they may serve as constellation builders or just simply resonate.
