Year Proust

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or proust:

    You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
