Summary

This quote expresses the idea that while a mirror allows us to see our physical appearance, art has the power to show us something deeper within ourselves. While our reflection in a mirror can only provide a superficial understanding of who we are, works of art can evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and touch our souls. Art can reveal our innermost desires, fears, and dreams, giving us a glimpse into the vast complexities of our being. It suggests that art has a unique ability to connect us with our true selves, offering a more profound and introspective way of self-discovery.

Memory is corrupted and ruined by a crowd of memories. If I am going to have a true memory, there are a thousand things that must first be forgotten. Memory is not fully itself when it reaches only into the past. A memory that is not alive to the present does not remember the here and now, does not remember its true identity, is not memory at all. He who remembers nothing but facts and past events, and is never brought back into the present, is a victim of amnesia.
