Possessing what one loves is an even greater joy than love itself  (Marcel Proust Quotes) L’ide e qu’on mourra est plus cruelle que mourir, mais moins que l’ide e qu’un autre est mort.

Leave the pretty women for the men without imagination  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Le style, pour l’e crivain aussi bien que pour le peintre, est une question non de technique mais de vision.

Between the two we can set up a system of references, but we cannot fill in the gap  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Only imagination and belief can differentiate from the rest certain objects, certain people, and can create an atmosphere  (Marcel Proust Quotes) I was not at all worried about finding my doctor boring; I expected from him, thanks to an art of which the laws escaped me, that he pronounce concerning my health an indisputable oracle by consulting my entrails  (Marcel Proust Quotes) A woman one loves rarely suffices for all our needs, so we deceive her with another whom we do not love  (Marcel Proust Quotes) In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things  (Marcel Proust Quotes) It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit  (Marcel Proust Quotes) 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 Quotes) Our intonations contain our philosophy of life, what each of us is constantly telling himself about things  (Marcel Proust Quotes) People can have many different kinds of pleasure. The real one is that for which they will forsake the others  (Marcel Proust Quotes) People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground  (Marcel Proust Quotes) The charms of the passing woman are generally in direct proportion to the swiftness of her passing  (Marcel Proust Quotes) The paradoxes of today are the prejudices of tomorrow, since the most benighted and the most deplorable prejudices have had their moment of novelty when fashion lent them its fragile grace  (Marcel Proust Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book  (Marcel Proust Quotes) There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Those whose suffering is due to love are, as we say of certain invalids, their own physicians  (Marcel Proust Quotes) We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison  (Marcel Proust Quotes) We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes  (Marcel Proust Quotes) What a profound significance small things assume when the woman we love conceals them from us  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Your soul is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees  (Marcel Proust Quotes) Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey  (Marcel Proust Quotes)
