Each one of us has his own way of being betrayed in love just as each of us has his own way of catching a cold.
Marcel Proust
For a woman to really make one suffer, one must have believed in her implicitly.
Marcel Proust
Inexactitude and incompetence do not diminish assurance. Quite the contrary.
Marcel Proust
No expression or gesture which reveals the deeper hidden character of a man is related to what he has just previously said. We cannot check it with the guilty man’s testimony, for he will not confess. We are thrown back on the evidence of our senses, but faced with an isolated and incoherent perception, we wonder if our senses have not been deceived by an illusion. Hence such expressions— the only important ones— often leave us beset with doubts.
Marcel Proust
The bonds that unite us to another human being are sanctified when he or she adopts the same point of view as ourselves in judging one of our imperfections.
Marcel Proust
