"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!"

Love
"People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground."
Time

Memory
"It is always thus impaled by a state of mind which is destined not to last that we make our irrevocable decisions."
Life
"People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura oflife which bears no relation to true immortality but through which theycontinue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. Itis as though they were traveling abroad."
Grief
"We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes."

"Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter."
