"There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory. And yet he ought not entirely to regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man--so far

that is a spectacular quote

i'm glad you like it! it's from Proust's In Search of Lost Time, which is a 7-volume semi-autobiographical novel. i am definitely not ambitious enough to read that, but i might tackle the first volume (Swann's Way) some time.

but yeah...it seems very appropriate, somehow.
