sunday morning with amy tan
“…she must have seen herself recently in a mirror? But the way we see our reflections from changing angles allows us to edit out what we don’t like. The camera is a different sort of eye, one that sees a million present particles of silver on black, not the old memories of a person’s heart.”*
*cited: Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses, pp. 244-245.
