Proust (from a reader)

“My mother had to abandon her quest, but managed to extract from the restriction itself a further delicate thought, like good poets whom the tyranny of rhyme forces into the discovery of their finest lines.” p.25

“‘The fault I find with our journalism is that it forces us to take an interest in some fresh triviality or other every day, whereas only three or four books in a lifetime give us anything that is of real importance.’” p.28

“...I asked him to direct me, I seek my way again, I turn a corner…but…the goal is in my heart…” p. 72

“‘I have every useless thing in the world in my house there. The only thing wanting is the necessary thing, a great patch of open sky like this. Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life, little boy,’ he added, turning to me. ‘You have a soul in you of rare quality, an artist’s nature; never let it starve for lack of what it needs.’” p.73
