We are all of us obliged, if we are to make reality endurable, to nurse a few little follies in ourselves (Marcel Proust Quotes)
One cannot change, that is to say become a different person, while continuing to acquiesce to the feelings of the person one has ceased to be (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Most of the supposed expressions of our feelings merely relieve us of them by drawing them out of us in an indistinct form that does not teach us to know them (Marcel Proust Quotes)
There are people whose faces assume an unaccustomed beauty and majesty the moment they cease to look out of their eyes (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Having a body is in itself the greatest threat to the mind... The body encloses the mind in a fortress; before long the mind is besieged on all sides, and in the end the mind has to give itself up (Marcel Proust Quotes)
What we have not had to decipher, to elucidate by our own efforts, what was clear before we looked at it, is not ours. From ourselves comes only that which we drag forth from the obscurity which lies within us, that which to others is unknown (Marcel Proust Quotes)
... a writer’s works, like the water in an artesian well, mount to a height which is in proportion to the depth to which suffering has penetrated his soul (Marcel Proust Quotes)
It is not only by dint of lying to others, but also of lying to ourselves, that we cease to notice that we are lying (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Our worst fears, like our greatest hopes, are not outside our powers, and we can come in the end to triumph over the former and to achieve the latter (Marcel Proust Quotes)
When from a long distant past nothing subsists after the things are broken and scattered, the smell and taste of things remain (Marcel Proust Quotes)
It has been said that beauty is a promise of happiness. Conversely, the possibility of pleasure can be a beginning of beauty (Marcel Proust Quotes)
A cathedral, a wave of a storm, a dancer’s leap, never turn out to be as high as we had hoped (Marcel Proust Quotes)
To write that essential book, a great writer does not need to invent it but merely to translate it, since it already exists in each one of us. The duty and task of a writer are those of translator (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best (Marcel Proust Quotes)
The only true voyage of discovery,... would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes (Marcel Proust Quotes)
I drank a second mouthful in which I find nothing more than in the first, then a third which gives me rather less than the second. It is time to stop; the potion is losing its magic (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Do not wait for life. Do not long for it. Be aware, always and at every moment, that the miracle is in the here and now (Marcel Proust Quotes)
The facts of life do not penetrate to the sphere in which our beliefs are cherished; they did not engender those beliefs, and they are powerless to destroy them (Marcel Proust Quotes)
We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things (Marcel Proust Quotes)
I had come in time to learn that it was a mistake to smile a friendly smile when somebody made a fool of me (Marcel Proust Quotes)
There is not a woman in the world the possession of whom is as precious as that of the truths which she reveals to us by causing us to suffer (Marcel Proust Quotes)
A man of letters, merely by reading a phrase, can estimate exactly the literary merit of its author (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Each reader reads only what is already within himself. The book is only a sort of optical instrument which the writer offers to the reader to enable the latter to discover in himself what he would not have found but for the aid of the book (Marcel Proust Quotes)
No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me (Marcel Proust Quotes)
The sight of the little madeleine had recalled nothing to my mind before I tasted it (Marcel Proust Quotes)
The tiny, initial clue... by allowing us to imagine what we do not know, stimulates a desire for knowledge (Marcel Proust Quotes)
The character we exhibit in the latter half of our life need not necessarily be, though it often is, our original character, developed further, dried up, exaggerated, or diminished. It can be its exact opposite, like a suit worn inside out (Marcel Proust Quotes)
People don’t know when they are happy. They’re never so unhappy as they think they are (Marcel Proust Quotes)
It is desire that engenders belief; if we fail as a rule to take this into account, it is because most of the desires that create beliefs end only with out own life (Marcel Proust Quotes)
Love is an incurable malady like those pathetic states in which rheumatism affords the sufferer a brief respite only to be replaced by epileptiform headaches (Marcel Proust Quotes)
