• On Day-Dreams

  
  Antiquitopia — Authority: 117
  When a mind has a tendency towards day-dreams, its a mistake to shield it from them, to ration them. So long as you divert your mind from its day-dreams, it will not know them for what they are; you will be the victim of all sorts of appearances because you will not have grasped their true nature. If a little ...

• The Power of the Opposed Idea

  
  Antiquitopia — Authority: 117
  A powerful idea communicates some of its power to the an who contradicts it. Partaking of the universal community of minds, it infiltrates, grafts itself on to, the mind of him whom it refutes, among other contiguous ideas, with the aid of which, counter-attacking, he complements and corrects it; so that the final ...

• Who are you, really?

  
  Mandy de Waal — Authority: 91
  There’s a scene from Little Miss Sunshine that has stayed with me for the longest time. If you’ve seen the movie you’re remember it instantly. Miss Sunshine is of course the film about a family on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and the scene in question is between Dwayne and Frank who are musing on the ...

• Within a Budding Grove: Dead Weight

  
  Puss Reboots: A Book Review a Day — Authority: 135
  This week I remembered to read Within a Budding Grove and even got my 30 pages done early. But then Friday rolled around and I was on my second day of a migraine and Harriets school was having its annual Christmas pageant. I had volunteered this year so my mind was anywhere but on Proust. Just before bed last ...

• French technology upstart challenges Google (PhysOrg)

  
  NanoTechBIZZ.com — Authority: 151
  (AP) — France’s efforts to digitize its culture, from Marcel Proust’s manuscripts to the first films of the legendary Lumiere brothers, long have been bogged down by the country’s reluctance to rely on help from American Internet giant Google Inc. A new startup launched Thursday says it may be the answer. ...

• A Stomach Remembers

  
  Pendock Uncorked — Authority: 417
  The Far East is a glittering prize for SA wine exporters, a bit like a bibulous Maneki Neko, one of those fat red plastic cats sitting next to the till, waving profits in through the door. But one that is unlikely to be won as long as we describe our offerings as “redolent of [...]No related posts.Related posts ...

• Prousts Monocles, and Other Man/Machine Confusions

  
  Underbelly — Authority: 485
  In his indispensable Readers Guide to Remembrance of Things Past ((1984) translator Terence Kilmartin devotes a 12-line entry to the topic of "monocles." I find fully a dozen characters whose lives are enhanced, clarified or otherwise made this little sliver of glass. Some are straightforward. Baron de Charlus, ...

• Best European Fiction 2010: My Series

  
  Fire In The Bones — Authority: 112
  I believe in conversations. And the conversations I always learn the most from are those I have with people who are not too much like me. They may not blow me away (I’m afraid I’m sort of granite-like), they may not change my world (I rather like my world), and I might enjoy them more for me than for them ...

  Within a Budding Grove: Madame Swann at Home: Robert Langdon: 12/04/09 Last week I took a break from reading Within a Budding Grove but my reading then oddly parallels the thirty pages I read this week. When I wasnt reading Within a Budding Grove I was either writing my nanowrimo ( which I finished ) or ...
