On this day...
Artist Giorgio de Chirico was born on this day in 1888.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.
Marcel Proust is a tough read, known for his long, winding prose and many ruminations on time and the slipperiness of memory. A graphic novel captures the essence of his work beautifully

The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.
Memory is the way we keep telling ourselves our stories - and telling other people a somewhat different version of our stories.
Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story.
