Marcel Proust Quotes

Sometimes, As Eve Was Born From One Of Adam's Ribs, A Woman Was Born During My Sleep From A Cramped Position Of My Thigh. Formed From The Pleasure I Was On The Point Of Enjoying, She, I Imagined, Was The One Offering It To Me. My Body, Which Felt In Hers My Own Warmth, Would Try To Find Itself Inside Her, I Would Wake Up. The Rest Of Humanity Seemed Very Remote Compared To This Woman I Had Left Scarcely A Few Moments Before; My Cheek Was Still Warm From Her Kiss, My Body Aching From The Weight Of Hers. If, As Sometimes Happens, She Had The Features Of A Woman I Had Known In Life, I Would Devote Myself Entirely To This End: To Finding Her Again, Like Those Who Go Off On A Journey To See A Longed-for City With Their Own Eyes And Imagine That One Can Enjoy In Reality The Charm Of A Dream. Little By Little, The Memory Of Her Would Fade, I Had Forgotten The Girl Of My Dream.
