Additional quotes by Marcel Proust

Ah, in those earliest days of love how naturally the kisses spring into life! So closely, in their profusion, do they crowd together that lovers would find it as hard to count the kisses exchanged in an hour as to count the flowers in a meadow in May.

Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade.
