More quotes by Marcel Proust

Impelled by a state of mind which is destined not to last, we make our irrevocable decisions

All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.

We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.

A cathedral, a wave of storm, a dancer's leap, never turn out to be as high as we had hoped.

Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland. It becomes a hell.

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
