Kindle Notes & Highlights
all we can ever be is faithful to our memories of reality, rather than the reality itself, which is something closely related but never precisely the same thing.
If you live long enough you realise that every proven fact is later disproved and then proven again.
Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
They live in your mind, the way they always lived inside you. You keep their light alive. If you remember them well enough, they can still guide you, like the shine of long-extinguished stars could guide ships in unfamiliar waters. If you stop mourning them, and start listening to them, they still have the power to change your life. They can, in short, be salvation.
That is the whole thing with the future. You don’t know. At some point you have to accept that you don’t know. You have to stop flicking ahead and just concentrate on the page you are on.
the way you stop time is by stopping being ruled by it.
