I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
—Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Volume Three: 1925-1930 (BUR October 24, 2012) (via Regina Rosenfeld)
