QUOTES BY Marcel Proust

Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.

Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us.

It comes so soon, the moment when there is nothing left to wait for.

The true paradises are the paradises that we have lost.

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less, but to dream more, to dream all the time.
