Virginia WoolfI 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.
About This Quote
When we look back at our past, we feel very impressed by it. We can feel how we were so happy and excited for those events and we try to relive those days through our memories. But we can't be completely happy because we can't feel everything that happened. Only later on, when we grow up, will we be able to feel the full extent of emotion that took place during that time period.
