> I don't want to forget things. Ever. Again. Not strictly technology-related, but certainly human related, you might want to read Albert Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past". You might develop a new perspective on "remembering things" and memory after reading the book, a perspective not limited to technology or fancy gadgets but instead one that touches on our very essence…
…premise of the novel. I don't object to anyone handwaving away complexity in service of narrative. Virtually all authors do that. (Two exceptions that come to mind are Tolstoy's War and Peace, and Proust's Remembrance of Things Past.)
《How to See Color and Paint It》——它教我如何观察色彩并进行绘画。还教会了我如何用调色刀，这让我的画作变得非常与众不同而且很有趣。《追忆似水年华》——我还在啃这本，因为它是一部超级庞大的意识流巨著，但我真希望自己年轻时就读它，这样现在早就看完了。读它并亲身体验……的感觉简直太奇妙了
How to See Color and Paint It -- It taught me how to see color and paint it. Also how to use a palette knife which makes my paintings very different and fun. Remembrance of Things Past -- I'm still reading this, as it's a massive stream of consciousness book, but I wish I'd started it when I was younger so that I'd be done with it by now. It's just so weird to read it and experience…
……尝到某种味道或闻到某种气味，突然间你就恍惚回到了年轻时代、回到了母亲的厨房等等。这种概念当然很可能源自普鲁斯特和《追忆似水年华》（À la recherche du temps perdu），以及书中开篇由玛德琳蛋糕唤起记忆的经典场景。所以我觉得人们普遍认为食物和气味就是这样与记忆产生关联的，但事实真的如此吗，还是大家只是……
…tasting something or smelling something and suddenly you are wafted back to your youth and your mother's kitchen etc. This idea of course is probably related to Proust and À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past) and its early scene of memory being sparked by a Madeleine. So I think the idea is pretty wide spread among people that food and smell works this way with memory, but does it really or do people just…
…after a 19th-century French cook named Madeleine Paumier, but it was the French author Marcel Proust who immortalized the pastry in his 1913 book Swann's Way, the first volume of his seven-part novel Remembrance of Things Past. In that work, a taste of tea-soaked cake evokes a surge of memory and nostalgia. As more and more readers chewed on the profound mnemonic power attributed to a mere morsel of cake, the word madeleine…
I started listening to an audiobook of Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust with the best of intentions. It's high quality literature, and it unquestionably has artistic and human-ness value! However...it's become my "put this on with a 30 minute timer if I'm…
> 我不想忘记任何事。永远。再也不要。这并不完全是技术相关，但绝对与人性息息相关，你或许可以读读马塞尔·普鲁斯特的《追忆似水年华》。读完之后，你对“记住事物”和记忆可能会产生全新的视角，这种视角不再局限于技术或炫酷的小玩意，而是直击我们存在的核心本质……

……小说的前提设定。我并不反对任何人为了服务叙事而对复杂性含糊其辞、随手带过。几乎所有作家都这么干。（我能想到的两个例外是托尔斯泰的《战争与和平》，以及普鲁斯特的《追忆似水年华》。）

……以19世纪的一位名叫玛德琳·波米耶（Madeleine Paumier）的法国厨师命名，但真正让这种点心名垂青史的，是法国作家马塞尔·普鲁斯特在他1913年出版的《去斯万家那边》（其七卷本巨著《追忆似水年华》的第一卷）。在书中，一口浸过茶的蛋糕激起了一阵汹涌的记忆与怀旧之情。随着越来越多的读者反复玩味一块区区糕点所承载的深远记忆魔力，“玛德琳”这个词……

我当初抱着最美好的初心，开始听马塞尔·普鲁斯特《追忆似水年华》的有声书。它绝对是高质量的文学，而且无可争议地具有艺术和人性的价值！然而……它现在已经成了我的“如果我失眠，就定个30分钟倒计时放上它……
