A Look Inside
“I have friends wherever there are companies of trees, wounded but not vanquished, which huddle together with touching obstinancy to implore an inclement and pitiless sky.”
“You have a soul in you of rare quality, an artist’s nature”
“Such moments as these, in which she forgot Swann’s very existence, were of more value to Odette, did more to attach him to her, than all her infidelities”
― Marcel Proust, Du côté de chez Swann
