Psyche

“We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full.”
― Marcel Proust

“If we are to make reality endurable, we must all nourish a fantasy or two.”
― Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

“Pleasures are like photographs: in the presence of the person we love, we take only negatives, which we develop later, at home, when we have at our disposal once more our inner dark room, the door of which it is strictly forbidden to open while others are present.”
― Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

“Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.”
― Marcel Proust, The Captive / The Fugitive
