Summary

This quote by Marcel Proust highlights the evolving nature of our perception and interpretation of stories over time. As we grow and experience new things, our perspectives, values, and knowledge change. Therefore, when we revisit a story that we have previously read or experienced, it resonates differently with us. Our evolved selves bring new insights, understandings, and interpretations to the narrative, making it an ever-changing and unique experience with each encounter.
