Marcel Proust Quotes
But It Was Enough If, In My Own Bed, My Sleep Was Deep And Allowed My Mind To Relax Entirely; Then It Would Let Go Of The Map Of The Place Where I Had Fallen Asleep And, When I Woke In The Middle Of The Night, Since I Did Not Know Where I Was, I Did Not Even Understand In The First Moment Who I Was; All I Had, In Its Original Simplicity, Was The Sense Of Existence As It May Quiver In The Depths Of An Animal; I Was More Bereft Than A Caveman; But Then The Memory - Not Yet Of The Place Where I Was, But Of Several Of Those Where I Had Lived And Where I Might Have Been - Would Come To Me Like Help From On High To Pull Me Out Of The Void From Which I Could Not Have Got Out On My Own; I Passed Over Centuries Of Civilization In One Second, And The Image Confusedly Glimpsed Of Oil Lamps, Then Of Wing-collar Shirts, Gradually Recomposed My Self's Original Features.
