Some of the best Marcel Proust quotes:

Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.

We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.

We are healed from suffering only by experiencing it to the full.

Love is space and time measured by the heart.
