“It's said, after all, that people reach middle age the day they realize they're never going to read Remembrance of Things Past.”
“Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”
“Let go of the past because its remembrance will give you pleasure.”
“And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.”
“[The shells] do not have the meaning they once did, but, as Swann said in Remembrance of Things Past, "even when one is no longer attached to things, it's still something to have been attached to them." (22)”
“the remembrence of things past is not nessecarly the remeberance of things as they were”
