Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
From Marcel Proust
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full.
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible.
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
There is no man, however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory.
In theory one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not perceive it, the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed. So it is with Time in one's life.
The only paradise is paradise lost.
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.
