More quotes by Marcel Proust
We are all of us obliged, if we are to make reality endurable, to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.
Marcel Proust
People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel Proust
Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
There is no idea that does not carry in itself a possible refutation, no word that does not imply its opposite.
Marcel Proust
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Marcel Proust
We have such numerous interests in our lives that it is not uncommon, on a single occasion, for the foundations of a happiness that does not yet exist to be laid down alongside the intensification of a grief from which we are still suffering.
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
We ought at least, from prudence, never to speak of ourselves, because that is a subject on which we may be sure that other people's views are never in accordance with our own.
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
We are ordinarily so indifferent to people that when we have invested one of them with the possibility of giving us joy, or suffering, it seems as if he must belong to some other universe, he is imbued with poetry.
Marcel Proust
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
If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure.
Marcel Proust
What barrier is so insurmountable as silence?
Marcel Proust
We see things but we don't see them, like things that slid through the mind, one flowing into another.
Marcel Proust
The only possible paradises are those we have lost
Marcel Proust
I blame the newspapers because every day they call our attention to insignificant things, while three or four times in our lives,we read books that contain essential things. Once we feverishly tear the band of paper enclosing our newspapers, things should change and we should find--I do not know--the Pensées by Pascal!
Marcel Proust
May you always see a blue sky overhead, my young friend and then, even when the time comes, as it has come for me now, when the woods are black, when night is fast falling, you will be able to console yourself, as I do, by looking up at the sky.
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
We have nothing to fear and a great deal to learn from trees, that vigorours and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool, silent, and intimate hours.
Marcel Proust
When I am not too sad to listen, music is my consolation.
Marcel Proust
