Marcel Proust Quotes
In Reading, Friendship Is Restored Immediately To Its Original Purity. With Books There Is No Forced Sociability. If We Pass The Evening With Those Friends - Books - It's Because We Really Want To. When We Leave Them, We Do So With Regret And, When We Have Left Them, There Are None Of Those Thoughts That Spoil Friendship: "What Did They Think Of Us?" - "Did We Make A Mistake And Say Something Tactless?" - "Did They Like Us?" - Nor Is There The Anxiety Of Being Forgotten Because Of Displacement By Someone Else. All Such Agitating Thoughts Expire As We Enter The Pure And Calm Friendship Of Reading.
