More quotes by Marcel Proust
People who laugh so heartily at what they themselves have said, when it is not funny, dispense us accordingly, by taking upon themselves the responsibility for the mirth, from joining in it.
Marcel Proust
Most of the supposed expressions of our feelings merely relieve us of them by drawing them out of us in an indistinct form that does not teach us to know them.
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
Only by art can we get outside ourselves, instead of seeing only one world, our own, we see it under multiple forms.
Marcel Proust
... we made much less happy by the kindness of a great writer, which strictly speaking we find only in his books, than we suffer from the hostility of a woman whom we have not chosen for her intelligence, but whom we cannot stop ourselves from loving.
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
It is the tragedy of other people that they are to us merely showcases for the very perishable collections of our own mind.
Marcel Proust
After a certain age, the more one becomes oneself, the more obvious one's family traits become.
Marcel Proust
Reading is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude.
Marcel Proust
Desire makes everything blossom possession makes everything wither and fade.
Marcel Proust
Everything we think of as great has come to us from neurotics. It is they and they alone who found religions and create great works of art. The world will never realize how much it owes to them and what they have suffered in order to bestow their gifts on it.
Marcel Proust
Our desires cut across one another, and in this confused existence it is rare for happiness to coincide with the desire that clamoured for it.
Marcel Proust
In reality, every reader is, while reading, the reader of his own self.
Marcel Proust
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Marcel Proust
Error, by force of contrast, enhances the triumph of Truth.
Marcel Proust
The only possible paradises are those we have lost
Marcel Proust
I drank a second mouthful in which I find nothing more than in the first, then a third which gives me rather less than the second. It is time to stop the potion is losing its magic.
Marcel Proust
Dear Friend: I have nearly died three times since morning.
Marcel Proust
According to a charming law of nature which is evident even in the most sophisticated societies, we live in complete ignorance of whatever we love.
Marcel Proust
We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.
Marcel Proust
