  5. 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]

  19. If you make a deal with the devil, it's called a "Faustian bargain," after a character in literature who got screwed by Satan -- as one does.
    So if I want to remember something, and I don't write it down thinking that I won't forget, is that a "Proustian bargain"?

  23. Feeling questioning? Or maybe a little reflective? Take a look at some past responses to the CFS/RCÉA “Choux Questionnaire,” our riff on the somewhat more literary “Proust Questionnaire.” Our respondents include food scholars, activists, philosophers, and writers. (Oh, and ChatGPT. Not sure that was the best idea, but its responses certainly show some pretty 'artificial' intelligence.)
