Image
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
Image
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
Image
Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
Image
One becomes moral as soon as one is unhappy.
Marcel Proust
Image
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or two.
Marcel Proust
Image
The only possible paradises are those we have lost
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
The sight of the little madeleine had recalled nothing to my mind before I tasted it...
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
In love, happiness is an abnormal state.
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
For every sin there is forgiveness, and especially for the sins of youth.
Marcel Proust
Image
Our passions shape our books, repose writes them in the intervals.
Marcel Proust
Image
There are optical illusions in time as well as space.
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
Marcel Proust
Image
As soon as he ceased to be mad he became merely stupid. There are maladies we must not seek to cure because they alone protect us from others that are more serious.
Marcel Proust
Image
with one image he would make that beauty explode into me.
