APHORISMS

"A book is a great cemetery where the names have been effaced from most of the tombs and are no longer legible."

"Literature, reconstructing the demolished work of amorous illusion, gives a sort of afterlife to feelings which were no longer is existence."

"It is our passions which provide the outline of our books."

"Suffering is the best thing one can encounter in life."

"We are fertilized through grief."


Marcel Proust
