Quote by Marcel Proust

That translucent alabaster of our memories.

That translucent alabaster of our memories.

Summary

This quote refers to the ethereal and delicate nature of our memories. Like translucent alabaster, our memories are hazy, translucent, and prone to fading over time. The phrase evokes the sense of fragility and beauty, suggesting that our memories are not always vivid or permanent, but rather delicate and fleeting. It implies that our recollections may have a dreamlike quality, leaving behind an impression or trace that can be obscured or forgotten as time passes.

My band career ended late in my senior year when John Cooper

My band career ended late in my senior year when John Cooper and I threw my amplifier out the dormitory window. We did not act in haste. First we checked to make sure the amplifier would fit through the frame, using the belt from my bathrobe to measure, then we picked up the amplifier and backed up to my bedroom door. Then we rushed forward, shouting The WHO! The WHO! and we launched my amplifier perfectly, as though we had been doing it all our lives, clean through the window and down onto the sidewalk, where a small but appreciative crowd had gathered. I would like to be able to say that this was a symbolic act, an effort on my part to break cleanly away from one state in my life and move on to another, but the truth is, Cooper and I really just wanted to find out what it would sound like. It sounded OK.

He soon felt that the realization of his desire had given him only a grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. It showed him the eternal error people make in imagining that happiness is the realization of desires.

What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.
