"La mémoire de chaque homme est sa littérature privée"
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
Each person has their own unique collection of memories, like a personal book filled with their life stories. Just like how different books tell different tales, our memories capture our individual experiences, feelings, and lessons learned. For example, imagine two friends who both attend the same event, like a concert. One might remember the amazing music and the excitement of the crowd, while the other might recall a moment they felt particularly happy or a conversation they had. These memories are special to each person and shape who they are. In our daily lives, we can think of our memories as a treasure trove of personal history that we can reflect on, learn from, and cherish, much like reading our favorite book over and over again.
