FROM THE BOOK
"The proposition Yesterday Will Be Better highlights the complexity of any attempt to link past and future together, and of any effort to comprehend memory as a condition for the future. Indeed, it is only our capacity for remembering and retrieving experiences that enables us to anticipate… Realistically, we can no longer have any expectations of yesterday, because the past is immutable; in our thoughts, however, images and conceptions of the past are flexible and malleable. According to Marcel Proust, our memories are not even genuine. They may seem real, but in fact they are just figments of our imagination."
