On ne re c° oit pas la sagesse, il faut la de couvrir soi-me me, apre' s un trajet que personne ne peut faire pour nous, ne peut nous e pargner. We do not receive wisdom.We must discover it ourselves after experiences which no one else can have for us and from which no one else can spare us.

Marcel Proust
Image
The only thing that does not change is that at any and every time it appears that there have been great changes.
Marcel Proust

Marcel Proust
Image
At the heart of our friendly or purely social relations, there lurks a hostility momentarily cured but recurring by fits and starts.
Marcel Proust
Image
A language which we do not know is a fortress sealed.
Marcel Proust
Image
Those whose suffering is due to love are, as we say of certain invalids, their own physicians.
Marcel Proust
Image
If we are to make reality endurable, we must all nourish a fantasy or two.
Marcel Proust
Image
We believe we can change things according to our wishes because that's the only happy solution we can see. We don't think of what usually happens and what is also a happy solution things don't change, but by and by our wishes change.
Marcel Proust
Image
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
Image
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
