The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it. – Marcel Proust
Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey. – 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
