Your soul is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees.
The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.
What artists call posterity is the posterity of the work of art.
By art alone we are able to get outside ourselves, to know what another sees of this universe which for him is not ours, the landscapes of which would remain as unknown to us as those of the moon.
Even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole, which is identical for everyone, and need only be turned up like a page in an account-book or the record of a will; our social personality is created by the thoughts of other people.
We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us.
Baron de Charlus de Charlus, un personnage de Proust, est dit être vaguement basé sur Robert de Montesquiou, poète symboliste français et collectionneur d'art - et tout autour de snob.
Proust's Baron de Charlus De Charlus is said to be loosely based on Robert de Montesquiou, French Symbolist poet and art collector – and all around snob.
