July 10: Roman Emperor Hadrien, Kem Ley甘磊； Alice Munro, Marcel Proust, Giorgio de Chirico

On this day...

Artist Giorgio de Chirico was born on this day in 1888. From our collection, enjoy the dreamlike atmosphere in "The Red Tower" (1913), resulting from irrational perspective, the lack of a unified light source, the elongation of shadows, and a hallucinatory focus on objects. From 1911-1917, de Chirico's enigmatic works provided crucial inspiration to the Surrealists. Learn more: http://gu.gg/TZAb30dmCzH

Quotes

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.

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

Quotes

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.
