Marcel Proust Quotes

Since I Was Still, And Must For Long Remain, In That Period Of Life When One Has Not Yet Separated The Fact Of This Sensual Pleasure From The Various Women In Whose Company One Has Tasted It, When One Has Not Reduced It To A General Idea Which Makes One Regard Them Thenceforward As The Variable Instruments Of A Pleasure That Is Always The Same. Indeed, That Pleasure Does Not Exist, Isolated And Formulated In The Consciousness, As The Ultimate Object With Which One Seeks A Woman's Company, Or As The Cause Of The Uneasiness Which, In Anticipation, One Then Feels. Hardly Even Does One Think Of Oneself, But Only How To Escape From Oneself.
