Present Past, Past Present Quotes

“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all…I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water”
― Eugène Ionesco, Present Past, Past Present: A Personal Memoir
