My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of see... - Marcel Proust

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

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

"Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees."

"Reading is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude."

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