Your soul is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees.Marcel Proust
A woman one loves rarely suffices for all our needs, so we deceive her with another whom we do not love.Marcel Proust
Lies are essential to humanity. They are perhaps as important as the pursuit of pleasure and moreover are dictated by that pursuit.Marcel Proust
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
Habit is a second nature which prevents us from knowing the first, of which it has neither the cruelties nor the enchantments.Marcel Proust
In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.Marcel Proust
