More quotes by Marcel Proust
The world was not created once and for all time for each of us individually. There are added to it in the course of our life things of which we have never had any suspicion.
Marcel Proust
Laissons les jolies femmes aux hommes sans imagination. Leave the pretty women for the men without imagination.
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
Le veritable voyage de decouverte ne consiste pas a chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais a avoir de nouveaux yeux. (The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.)
Marcel Proust
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
For theories and schools, like microbes and corpuscles, devour one another and by their strife ensure the continuity of life.
Marcel Proust
The true voyage of discovery is not a journey to a new place it is learning to see with new eyes.
Marcel Proust
People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel Proust
The only possible paradises are those we have lost
Marcel Proust
Death is in truth an illness from which we recover
Marcel Proust
The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.
Marcel Proust
Until I saw Chardin's painting, I never realized how much beauty lay around me in my parents' house, in the half-cleared table, in the corner of a tablecloth left awry, in the knife beside the empty oyster shell.
Marcel Proust
Our passions shape our books, repose writes them in the intervals.
Marcel Proust
Things don't change, but by and by our wishes change.
Marcel Proust
Most of our faculties lie dormant because they can rely upon Habit, which knows what there is to be done and has no need of their services.
Marcel Proust
Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best.
Marcel Proust
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
Instead of seeking new landscapes, develop new eyes.
Marcel Proust
The only true voyage would be not to travel through a hundred different lands, but to see the same land through a hundred different pairs of eyes.
Marcel Proust
In reality, every reader is, while reading, the reader of his own self.
Marcel Proust
