"Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten"
- Andre Breton
About this Quote
In this quote, Andre Breton reflects on the concept that he might be caught in a cycle of duplicating his previous errors, thinking that he is making progress when in truth he is just entering circles. He feels as though he is continuously attempting to comprehend things that he must already know, instead of just recognizing them. This leads him to only find out a small part of what he has forgotten, highlighting the concept that our memories and experiences are constantly shifting and progressing. Breton's words serve as a tip to be conscious of our actions and to not get caught up in the illusion of progress.
