More
"...but the loss of a memory, like the omission of a phrase during reading, rather than making for uncertainty, can lead to a premature certainty."
Memory
"People can have many different kinds of pleasure. The real one is that for which they will forsake the others."
People
"But one never finds a cathedral, a wave in a storm, a dancer's leap in the air quite as high as one has been expecting."
Experience
"And so too, in later years, when I began to write a book of my own, and the quality of some sentences seemed so inadequate that I could not make up my mind to go on with the undertaking. I would find the equivalent in Bergotte. But it was only then, when I read them in his pages, that I could enjoy them; when it was I myself who composed them, in my anxiety that they should exactly reproduce what I had perceived in my mind's eye, and in my fear of their not turning out "true to life," how could I find time to ask myself whether what I was writing was pleasing!"
Creativity
"I never allow myself to be influenced in the smallest degree either by atmospheric disturbances or by the arbitrary divisions of what is known as Time."
Philosophy
"Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind."
Happiness
"Habit is a second nature which prevents us from knowing the first, of which it has neither the cruelties nor the enchantments."
Nature
"The fixity of a habit is generally in direct proportion to its absurdity."
Psychology
"... even in his most artificial creations, nature is the material upon which man has to work; certain spots will persist in remaining surrounded by the vassals of their own special sovereignty, and will raise their immemorial standards among all the 'laid-out' scenery of a park, just as they would have done far from any human interference, in a solitude which must everywhere return to engulf them, springing up out of the necessities of their exposed position, and superimposing itself upon the work of man's hands."
Nature
"People are not always very tolerant of the tears which they themselves have provoked."
