More quotes by Marcel Proust
Even the simple act that we call going to visit a person of our acquaintance is in part an intellectual act. We fill the physical appearance of the person we see with all the notions we have about him, and in the totality of our impressions about him, these notions play the most important role.
Marcel Proust
When I am not too sad to listen, music is my consolation.
Marcel Proust
Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best.
Marcel Proust
A work in which there are theories is like an object which still has the ticket that shows its price.
Marcel Proust
The fixity of a habit is generally in direct proportion to its absurdity.
Marcel Proust
In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.
Marcel Proust
Griefs, at the moment when they change into ideas, lose some of their power to injure our heart.
Marcel Proust
She was a woman of uncertain age.
Marcel Proust
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.
Marcel Proust
We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.
Marcel Proust
The stellar universe is not so difficult to understand as the real actions of other people, especially of the people with whom we are in love.
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
In reality, in love there is a permanent suffering which joy neutralizes, renders virtual delays, but which can at any moment become what it would have become long earlier if one had not obtained what one wanted -- atrocious.
Marcel Proust
For every sin there is forgiveness, and especially for the sins of youth.
Marcel Proust
I was left alone there in the company of the orchids, roses and violets, which, like people waiting beside you who do not know you, preserved a silence which their individuality as living things made all the more striking, and warmed themselves in the heat of a glowing coal fire.
Marcel Proust
The most familiar precepts are not always the truest.
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
Laissons les jolies femmes aux hommes sans imagination. Leave the pretty women for the men without imagination.
Marcel Proust
Conversation, which is friendship's mode of expression, is a superficial digression which gives us nothing worth acquiring. We may talk for a lifetime without doing more than indefinitely repeat the vacuity of a minute.
Marcel Proust
The loss of a sense adds as much beauty to the world as its acquisition.
Marcel Proust
