came across these quotes while stalking random ppl on fb during what is evidently my failed attempt at studying T_T

People always say 'be true to yourself.' But that's misleading, because there are two selves. There's your short term self, and there's your long term self. And if you're only true to your short term self, your long term self slowly decays."

"I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past... That is why we dwell on the past, I think" 
Le Muguet du Métro by Robert Doisneau
