  1. After many years of using the internet, it would be interesting to get my hands on one of the digital profiles that have been generated about me. I have a feeling the algorithms know me better than I know myself.😒

  2. A quotation from Proust

    In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
     
    [En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

    Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
    Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]

    searching after my soul,
    which is worth ages and worlds to me.
    I went and found my soul --
    what are
    all the worlds
    to me?"
