    Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    But, when nothing subsists from a distant past, after the death of others, after the destruction of objects, only the senses of smell and taste, weaker but more enduring, more intangible, more persistent, more faithful, continue for a long time, like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruins of all the rest, to bring without flinching, on their nearly impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory.
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
