Summary

This quote reflects the idea that time travel is impossible due to the inability to recreate identical experiences. It implies that even if one were to go back in time, the circumstances and surroundings would inevitably be different, making it impossible to fully relive a particular moment. Each experience is unique and unrepeatable, suggesting that the past is best left in memories rather than attempting to recreate it.

Ideally a painter (and, generally, an artist) should not become conscious of his insights: without taking the detour through his reflective processes, and incomprehensibly to himself, all his progress should enter so swiftly into the work that he is unable to recognize them in the moment of transition.

If you look at old pictures, Irene Casey is so pretty. Not just young, but pretty the way you look when your face goes smooth, the skin around your eyes and lips relaxed, the pretty you only look when you love the person taking the picture.

The question takes me through the spectrum of human emotion

The question takes me through the spectrum of human emotion and psychology, to the darkest, recesses of the human heart where hypocrisy and insincerity duel. Yes it is! There are times when it is perfectly ok to tell a lie, and given the precise circumstances, expected of the noble being.
