The time which we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it, and habit fills up what remains. – Marcel Proust
Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees. – Marcel Proust
Every reader finds himself. The writers work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself. – Marcel Proust
Beside every great success are the seeds of enormous failure. In every failure, theres the opportunity seeds of great success. Theyre not miles apart. So if theyre that close together, and if youre really working, youre always gonna have that likelihood that somethings not going to work. – Peter Guber
