All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.
From Marcel Proust
Our intonations contain our philosophy of life, what each of us is constantly telling himself about things.
Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or two.
People can have many different kinds of pleasure. The real one is that for which they will forsake the others.
If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure.
The bonds that unite another person to our self exist only in our mind.
In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.
A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.
No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.
A fashionable milieu is one in which everybody's opinion is made up of the opinion of all the others. Has everybody a different opinion? Then it is a literary milieu.
