Marcel Proust Quotes
We Never See The People Who Are Dear To Us Save In The Animated System, The Perpetual Motion Of Our Incessant Love For Them, Which, Before Allowing The Images That Their Faces Present To Reach Us, Seizes Them In Its Vortex And Flings Them Back Upon The Idea That We Have Always Had Of Them, Makes Them Adhere To It, Coincide With It. How, Since Into The Forehead And The Cheeks Of My Grandmother I Had Been Accustomed To Read All The Most Delicate, The Most Permanent Qualities Of Her Mind, How, Since Every Habitual Glance Is An Act Of Necromancy, Each Face That We Love A Mirror Of The Past, How Could I Have Failed To Overlook What Had Become Dulled And Changed In Her, Seeing That In The Most Trivial Spectacles Of Our Daily Life, Our Eyes, Charged With Thought, Neglect, As Would A Classical Tragedy, Every Image That Does Not Contribute To The Action Of The Play And Retain Only Those That May Help To Make Its Purpose Intelligible.
