Marcel Proust
“In reality every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have perceived in himself.”
Marcel Proust

Marcel Proust
“There is a degree of resemblance between the women we love at different times; and this resemblance, though it devolves, derives from the unchanging nature of our own temperament, which is what selects them, by ruling out all those who are not likely to be both opposite and complementary to us, who cannot be relied on, that is, to gratify our sensuality and wound our heart. Such women are a product of our temperament, an inverted image or projection, a negative of our sensitivity.”
Marcel Proust

Robert Walser
“Our car is constantly in motion. It is raining in the streets we glide through, and this constitutes one more added pleasantness. Some people find it frightfully agreeable to see that it is raining and at the same time be permitted to sense that they themselves are not getting wet. The image produced by a gray, wet street has something consoling and dreamy about it, and so you stand now upon the rear platform of the creaking car that is rumbling its way forward, and you gaze straight ahead. Gazing straight ahead is something done by almost all the people who sit or stand in the "electric.”
Robert Walser, Berlin Stories

Javier Mar铆as
“Listening is the most dangerous thing of all, listening means knowing, finding out about something and knowing what鈥檚 going on, our ears don鈥檛 have lids that can instinctively close against the words uttered, they can鈥檛 hide from what they sense they鈥檙e about to hear, it鈥檚 always too late.”
Javier Mar铆as, A Heart So White

George Orwell
“At night all cats are grey.”
