“All the great writers are like that: the beauty of their sentences, like the beauty of a woman one has not yet met, is unforeseeable...”
― Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

“... novels contained something inexpressibly delicious.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“...the novelist has brought us to that state, in which, as in all purely mental states, every emotion is multiplied tenfold, into which his book comes to disturb us as might a dream, but a dream more lucid, and of a more lasting impression than those which comes to us in sleep;”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“With intelligent people, three-quarters of the things they suffer from come from their intelligence.”
― Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower
