People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad. – Marcel Proust
We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond. – Marcel Proust
Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees. – Marcel Proust
As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress. – Marcel Proust
