"Every day I attach less value to intelligence. Every day I realize better that it is only outside of it that the writer can recapture something of our past impressions, that is to say, attain something of himself and the sole matter of art. What intelligence gives us back under the name of the past is not the past. In reality, as happens with the souls of the deceased in certain popular legends, each hour of our life, as soon as it dies, is incarnated and hidden in some material object. It remains captive there, forever captive, unless we encounter the object. Through it we recognize it, we call it, and it is delivered. The object in which it hides, or the sensation, since every object in relation to us is sensation, we may very well never encounter. And so there are hours of our life that will never be resurrected. It is [that] this object is so small, so lost in the world, there is so little chance that it will be on our path. There is a country house where I spent several summers of my life. Sometimes I thought of those summers, but they were not [them]. There was a good chance that [they] would remain forever [dead] for me. Their resurrection was due, like all resurrections, to simple chance."
Marcel Proust
