Marcel Proust Quotes

All These My Exaltation Of Mind Has Borne Along With It And Kept Alive Through The Succession Of The Years, While All Around Them The Paths Have Vanished And Those Who Trod Them, And Even The Memory Of Those Who Trod Them, Are Dead. Sometimes The Fragment Of Landscape Thus Transported Into The Present Will Detach Itself In Such Isolation From All Associations That It Floats Uncertainly In My Mind Like A Flowering Delos, And I Am Unable To Say From What Place, From What Time - Perhaps, Quite Simply, From What Dream - It Comes. But It Is Pre-eminently As The Deepest Layer Of My Mental Soil, As The Firm Ground On Which I Still Stand, That I Regard The Meseglise And The Guermantes Ways. It Is Because I Believed In This And In People While I Walked Along Those Paths That The Things And The People They Made Known To Me Are The Only Ones That I Still Take Seriously And That Still Bring Me Joy.
