Days of Reading - Proust


Favourite quote -


"For me, voluntary memory, which is above all a memory of the intellect and of the eyes, gives us only facets of the past that have no truth; but should a smell or a taste, met with again in quite different circumstances, reawaken the past in us, in spite of ourselves, we sense how different the past was from what we thought we had remembered, our voluntary memory having painted it, like a bad painter, in false colours."


There was also a long memory description of stolen moments reading as a child and it reminded me of myself reading as a child <3
