  5. A quotation from Proust

    In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
     
    [En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

    Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
    Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]

  19. If you make a deal with the devil, it's called a "Faustian bargain," after a character in literature who got screwed by Satan -- as one does.
    So if I want to remember something, and I don't write it down thinking that I won't forget, is that a "Proustian bargain"?

  23. Feeling questioning? Or maybe a little reflective? Take a look at some past responses to the CFS/RCÉA “Choux Questionnaire,” our riff on the somewhat more literary “Proust Questionnaire.” Our respondents include food scholars, activists, philosophers, and writers. (Oh, and ChatGPT. Not sure that was the best idea, but its responses certainly show some pretty 'artificial' intelligence.)

  28. “You know what an inconstant person I am…” #Proust #thefugitive #1925Club

    My final read for our 10th Anniversary Club is a book I've been keen to get onto, and in fact is the third book I've read this year by the author: "The Fugitive" by Marcel Proust, the penultimate volume in his Remembrance of Things Past/In Search of Lost Time sequence. I've been gradually making my way through these over the years, and it's not been a fast process; I started with "Swann's Way"…

  29. Grand Hotel of Balbec. Waking up just now and still captured by a dream, Marcel has to confront the hotel servant.

    Read this brilliant piece in the original eBook - exactly positioned - works on phones - just one click away (You can at any time go to the beginning and read the whole book. That's the plan.)

  30. Marcel is in love with Albertine. But Albertine loves girls. Marcel is convinced of it. Before he started dating her, she used to mimic the behavior of lesbians. She does not do that anymore. Now, when people talk about "girls of bad style", she pretends not to hear it.

  31. W duszy pana de Charlus, która przed kilku dniami podobna była do równiny tak jednostajnej, że na najdalszym horyzoncie nie mógłby spostrzec idei wznoszącej się ponad ziemię, nagle wyrosły twarde jak kamień łańcuchy gór, i to gór tak wyrzeźbionych, jak gdyby jakiś rzeźbiarz zamiast wywieźć marmur, wycyzelował go na miejscu; w olbrzymich i tytanicznych grupach wiły się tam Wściekłość, Zazdrość, Ciekawość, Zawiść, Nienawiść, Cierpienie, Duma, Przerażenie Miłość

  32. In all beginnings dwells a magic force
    For guarding us and helping us to live. … (maybe the only phrase by Hesse I like - at least half-heartedly…)

  34. "At Saint-Pierre-des-Ifs we were joined by a glorious girl. I could not tear my eyes from her magnolia skin, her dark eyes, her bold and admirable outlines."

    As mentioned⬆above: post-WW1 Proust is the best Proust. The following link will take you to a paragraph deep inside the book 'Sodome et Gomorrhe' (Vol4, 1921). If you like it, you can read the whole thing:
