Letter "M" » Marcel Proust Quotes
«The one thing more difficult than following a regimen is not imposing it on others.»
«No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.»
«I had come in time to learn that it was a mistake to smile a friendly smile when somebody made a fool of me.»
«The bonds that unite another person to ourselves exist only in our mind. Memory as it grows fainter relaxes them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we would fain be cheated and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we cheat other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature that cannot emerge from himself, that knows his fellows only in himself; when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.»
«[The literary figure who looms largest in] False Papers ... perfected a language ... and a vision that gave memory an introspection and aesthetic scope and magnitude no author had conferred on either before. He allowed intimacy itself to become an art form.»
«There's nothing like desire to prevent the things one says from having any resemblance to the things in one's mind.»
«The human plagiarism which is most difficult to avoid, for individuals... is the plagiarism of ourselves.»
«The stellar universe is not so difficult of comprehension as the real actions of other people.»
«Neurosis has an absolute genius for malingering. There is no illness which it cannot counterfeit perfectly. If it is capable of deceiving the doctor, how should it fail to deceive the patient?»
«Less disappointing than life, great works of art do not begin by giving us all their best»
