Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. ~ Marcel Proust
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Marcel Proust
...but Marcel in the novel does not merely remember what happened to him when he was younger and lived the life of a dilettante, in most cases he invents, he speculates, imagines makes up stories about himself and the other characters in the novel. Yes, Marcel constantly invents, right before our eyes, what he thinks happened, or might have happened, or ought to have happened, especially since, in many instances, he was not present himself to witness what happened, or if he was present he was unable to hear or see what was happening. That is, in fact, the key to this novel: that Marcel does not simply remember what he tells us, but that he speculates on the basis of what he thinks he remembers. Therefore, it is not memory but imagination that engenders the novel. A la recherche du temps perdu is not simply a work of fiction that looks backward to retrieve the past, it is above all a novel that looks forward towards its own future, towards its own making, as it reflects on its creative process. And that is also true of much contemporary fiction, or what has been called New Fiction, Metafiction, Anti-fiction, Postmodern Fiction, or Surfiction. ~ Raymond Federman
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Raymond Federman
Devotees who say that À la recherche du temps perdu reminds them of a cathedral should be asked which cathedral they mean. It reminds me of a sandcastle that the tide reached before its obsessed constructor could finish it; but he knew that would happen, or else why build it on a beach? ~ Clive James
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Clive James
In America, we are entitled to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

There is no such expression in France. In fact, in France, the equivalent expression is la recherche du bonheur (looking for happiness). On the surface, this might seem as if I am splitting hairs, but if you really examine the idea of "looking" for happiness as opposed to "pursuing" happiness, you'll see there's actually a big difference.

If we're looking for something, it feels as if it's there hiding in plain sight. And all we have to do is be patient and when the room is quiet, quickly lift up the tablecloth and voilà! There it is! Happiness!

On the other hand, pursuing implies a kind of chasing after something.

"Looking for happiness" seems gentler. There is happiness and we just need to look. ~ Jamie Cat Callan
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Jamie Cat Callan
I have a terrible weakness for collecting snatches of other people's conversations, and occasionally I'm rewarded with unusual fragments of knowledge. My favorite of the day came from a large but shapely woman sitting nearby whom I learned was the owner of a local lingerie shop. 'Beh oui,' she said to her companion, waving her spoon for emphasis, 'il faut du temps pour la corsetterie.' You can't argue with that. I made a mental note not to rush things next time I was shopping for a corset, and leaned back to allow the waiter through with the next course. ~ Peter Mayle
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Peter Mayle
In the late 1960's, physicists Steven Weinberg, Abdus Salam, and Sheldon Glashow conquered the next unification frontier. In a phenomenal piece of scientific work they showed that the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces are nothing but different aspects of the same force, subsequently dubbed the electroweak force. The predictions of the new theory were dramatic. The electromagnetic force is produced when electrically charged particles exchange between them bundles of energy called photons. The photon is therefore the messenger of electromagnetism. The electroweak theory predicted the existence of close siblings to the photon, which play the messenger role for the weak force. These never-before-seen particles were prefigured to be about ninety times more massive than the proton and to come in both an electrically charged (called W) and a neutral (called Z) variety. Experiments performed at the European consortium for nuclear research in Geneva (known as CERN for Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire) discovered the W and Z particles in 1983 and 1984 respectively. ~ Mario Livio
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Mario Livio
I am an earnest advocate of manual training and trade teaching for black boys, and for white boys, too. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
Sometimes it's a sort of indulgence to think the worst of ourselves. We say, 'Now I have reached the bottom of the pit, now I can fall no further,' and it is almost a pleasure to wallow in the darkness. The trouble is, it's not true. There is no end to the evil in ourselves, just as there is no end to the good. It's a matter of choice. We struggle to climb, or we struggle to fall. The thing is to discover which way we're going. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
The virtues and vices are all put in motion by interest. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Whatever ignominy or disgrace we have incurred, it is almost always in our power to reestablish our reputation. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
He looked down at me without recognition, and I realized with a little stab of anxiety that he must have forgotten all about me, perhaps for some considerable time, and that he himself was so lost in the labyrinth of his own unquiet thoughts that I did not exist. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Indulgence comes in all varieties: a mouthful of gourmet chocolate, a hot stone massage, a week in Paris or 20 uninterrupted minutes to get
lost in a book. ~ Gina Greenlee
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Gina Greenlee
The principal point of cleverness is to know how to value things just as they deserve. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Why this man should love that woman, what queer chemical mix-up in our blood draws us to one another, who can tell? ~ Daphne Du Maurier
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
¡No metáis en la cabeza lo que os quepa en el bolsillo! ¡No metáis en el bolsillo lo que os quepa en la cabeza!"

"No ye may thrust your head in what I fit in your pocket! No ye may thrust in his pocket that you fit on the head!"

"Cebinize sığanı kafanıza sokmayın! Kafanıza sığanı cebinize tıkmayın! ~ Miguel De Unamuno
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Miguel De Unamuno
The man whom no one pleases is much more unhappy than the man who pleases no one. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Father said I have no sense of humor at all. He said I was unequipped to meet life because I have no sense of humor. ~ J.D. Salinger
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by J.D. Salinger
Kotak Mahindra Bank has very significant presence in the West and the North, and our total branch network between these two regions is 80 per cent, and in case of ING Vysya Bank, their network in South is 64 per cent of their total branch network. ~ Uday Kotak
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Uday Kotak
The greatest way to get most husbands to eliminar la celulitis do one thing is to suggest that perhaps they're also old to do it. ~ Anne Bancroft
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Anne Bancroft
Women spend 80 cents of every dollar in the marketplace. We could be the most powerful force for economic and environmental change in the 21st century if we focused our money where it could make the biggest difference. If a million people did that, it would have a $1 billion impact. ~ Diane MacEachern
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Diane MacEachern
15:58 For this reason you can afford to be absolutely settled and rock-solid in faith's persuasion and always ready to go beyond where you would have gone before. Your doing now is inspired by your knowing that you are in him. If his resurrection is yours then his victory over sin and death is equally yours. ~ Francois Du Toit
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Francois Du Toit
It is wonderful to say that your days behind a school desk are over. It's just another phase in your life. ~ Natalie Du Toit
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Natalie Du Toit
Before you know it it's 3 am and you're 80 years old and you can't remember what it was like to have 20 year old thoughts or a 10 year old heart. ~ Anita Pallenberg
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Anita Pallenberg
If men wish to be held in esteem, they must associate with those only who are estimable. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Nine Southern states adopted vagrancy laws - which essentially made it a criminal offense not to work and were applied selectively to blacks - and eight of those states enacted convict laws allowing for the hiring-out of county prisoners to plantation owners and private companies. Prisoners were forced to work for little or no pay. One vagrancy act specifically provided that 'all free negroes and mulattoes over the age of eighteen' must have written proof of a job at the beginning of the year. Those found with no lawful employment were deemed vagrants and convicted. Clearly, the purpose of the black codes in general and the vagrancy laws in particular was to establish another system of forced labor. In W.E.B. Du Bois's words: 'The Codes spoke for themselves. . . . No open-minded student can read them without being convinced they meant nothing more nor less than slavery in daily toil. ~ Michelle Alexander
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Michelle Alexander
In that memorable year, 1822: Oersted, a Danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a Volta pile. On his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. A wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. That, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph. ~ Louis Pasteur
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Louis Pasteur
He knoweth the universe, and himself he knoweth not. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
And all the sounds you heard- the wind whipping past your ears and the ocean's whispering and the trickle of whitecaps against your boat- that was the earth's blood pumping through imperceptible veins, and some of those veins were nothing more than people like Shy or Carmen or Addie.
And when the end came it smelled like morning dew and brine and everything around you morphed into a man, and that man shined a flashlight in your eyes and kneeled down beside you to pet your hair and he said: You're gonna be okay, young fella. Now come on.
And when he lifted you into his arms and carried you like a child into a hidden cave, where you would grow back into the earth's rich soil from which you came and where you would forever belong. ~ Matt De La Pena
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Matt De La Pena
I would not be young again, if you offered me the world. But then I'm prejudiced.' 'You talk,' I said, 'as if you were ninety-nine.' 'For a woman I very nearly am,' she said. 'I'm thirty five. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Who are you?"
"The devil," she said. "The devil in love. ~ Arturo Perez Reverte
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Arturo Perez Reverte
Cirque du Freak' is the best vampire series ever. ~ Darren Shan
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by Darren Shan
X.
I saw pale kings and princes too,
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried - "La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!"
XI.
I saw their starved lips in the gloam,
With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill's side.
XII.
And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is wither'd from the lake,
And no birds sing. ~ John Keats
C3 80 La Recherche Du Temps Perdu quotes by John Keats
To exhaustion and beyond they prayed, to that glittering place where the flesh dies and is born again, where all is agony, and finally, just as La Inca was feeling her spirit begin to loose itself from its earthly pinions, just as the circle began to dissolve
~ Junot Diaz
