Marcel Proust
“The oddities of charming people exasperate us, but there are few if any charming people who are not, at the same time, odd.”
Marcel Proust

Michel de Montaigne
“The most beautiful lives, to my mind,are those that conform to the common human pattern, with order, but without miracle, and without eccentricity.”
Michel de Montaigne

Marcel Proust
“A certain similarity exists, although the type evolves, between all the women we love, a similarity that is due to the fixity of our own temperament, which it is that chooses them, eliminating all those who would not be at once our opposite and our complement, fitted that is to say to gratify our senses and to wring our heart.”
Marcel Proust

Michel de Montaigne
“A noble heart should not belie its thoughts; it wants to reveal itself even to its inmost depths. There everything is good, at least everything is human.”
Michel de Montaigne

Charles Dickens
“Hot punch is a pleasant thing, gentlemen---an extremely pleasant thing under any circumstances---but in that snug old parlour, before the roaring fire, with the wind blowing outside till every timber in the old house creaked again, Tom Smart found it perfectly delightful.”
Charles Dickens
