Quote by Andre Breton
Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.
Summary
This quote reflects the idea that despite one's efforts to make progress and gain knowledge, they are bound to repeat their past experiences, believing they are making new discoveries. It suggests that the individual might be constantly trying to understand things they should already know, and consequently, they learn only a fraction of what they have overlooked or forgotten. It implies a sense of frustration and an inherent struggle to fully grasp and retain knowledge.
