Love is space and time measured by the heart. - Marcel Proust

"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."

"My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing."

"Having a body is in itself the greatest threat to the mind... The body encloses the mind in a fortress; before long the mind is besieged on all sides, and in the end the mind has to give itself up."

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

"It is grief that develops the powers of the mind."
