Quote by Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

• The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

• People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the comma bacillus.

• The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes.

• Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

• A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.

• We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
