Marcel Proust Quotes

They Reminded Me That It Was My Fate To Pursue Only Phantoms, Creatures Whose Reality Existed To A Great Extent In My Imagination; For There Are People - And This Had Been My Case Since Youth - For Whom All The Things That Have A Fixed Value, Assessable By Others, Fortune, Success, High Positions, Do Not Count; What They Must Have Is Phantoms. They Sacrifice All The Rest, Devote All Their Efforts, Make Everything Else Subservient To The Pursuit Of Some Phantom. But This Soon Fades Away; Then They Run After Another Only To Return Later On To The First.
