Marcel Proust

"A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves."

"If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."

"Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees."

"A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it."

"Everything great in the world comes from neurotics. They alone have founded our religions and composed our masterpieces."

"It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not alone but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body."

"Love is a reciprocal torture."

"Love is space and time measured by the heart."

"We are able to find everything in our memory, which is like a dispensary or chemical laboratory in which chance steers our hand sometimes to a soothing drug and sometimes to a dangerous poison."

"We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond."
