Memory #4

Un être humain qui rêverait son existence au lieu de la vivre tiendrait sans doute ainsi sous son regard, à tout moment, la multitude infinie des details de son histoire passé.

A human being who dreamed his existence rather than living it would undoubtedly have within his grasp, at every moment, the infinite multitude of details of his past history.

Henri Bergson, Matière et mémoire (1896)
