If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.

More quotes by Marcel Proust
A work in which there are theories is like an object which still has the ticket that shows its price.
Marcel Proust
Desire makes everything blossom possession makes everything wither and fade.
Marcel Proust
We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things.
Marcel Proust
Existence is of little interest save on days when the dust of realities is mingled with magic sand.
Marcel Proust
It's odd how a person always arouses admiration for his moral qualities among the relatives of another with whom he has sexual relations. Physical love, so unjustifiably decried, makes everyone show, down to the least detail, all he has of goodness and self-sacrifice, so that he shines even in the eyes of those nearest to him.
Marcel Proust
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Marcel Proust
One must never miss an opportunity of quoting things by others which are always more interesting than those one thinks up oneself.
Marcel Proust
Through art alone are we able to emerge from ourselves, to know what another person sees of a universe which is not the same as our own and of which, without art, the landscapes would remain as unknown to us as those that may exist on the moon.
Marcel Proust
I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.
Marcel Proust
The truth is that every morning war is declared afresh. And the men who wish to continue it are as guilty as the men who began it, more guilty perhaps, for the latter perhaps did not foresee all its horrors.
Marcel Proust
It is the tragedy of other people that they are to us merely showcases for the very perishable collections of our own mind.
Marcel Proust
I should have been happy: I wasn’t.
Marcel Proust
I wished to see storms only on those coasts where they raged with most violence.
Marcel Proust
In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.
Marcel Proust
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
Marcel Proust
Our words are, as a general rule, filled by the people to whom we address them with a meaning which those people derive from their own substance, a meaning widely different from that which we had put into the same words when we uttered them.
Marcel Proust
Our intonations contain our philosophy of life, what each of us is constantly telling himself about things.
Marcel Proust
Love...., ever unsatisfied, lives always in the moment that is about to come.
Marcel Proust
... we made much less happy by the kindness of a great writer, which strictly speaking we find only in his books, than we suffer from the hostility of a woman whom we have not chosen for her intelligence, but whom we cannot stop ourselves from loving.
Marcel Proust
The only thing that does not change is that at any and every time it appears that there have been great changes.
Marcel Proust
