Marcel Proust Quotes

I Was Merely Making More Perceptible That Binary Rhythm Which Love Adopts In All Those Who Have Too Little Confidence In Themselves To Believe That A Woman Can Ever Fall In Love With Them, And Also That They Themselves Can Genuinely Fall In Love With Her. They Know Themselves Well Enough To Have Observed That In The Presence Of The Most Divergent Types Of Woman They Felt The Same Hopes, The Same Agonies, Invented The Same Romances, Uttered The Same Words, And To Have Realised Therefore That Their Feelings, Their Actions, Bear No Close And Necessary Relation To The Woman They Love, But Pass To One Side Of Her, Splash Her, Encircle Her, Like The Incoming Tide Breaking Against The Rocks, And Their Sense Of Their Own Instability Increases Still Further Their Misgivings That This Woman, By Whom They So Long To Be Loved, Does Not Love Them.
