Big Frank has turned from Connely to Proust, a much much richer source. Here are a few choice quotations:
Our belief that a person takes part in an unknown life which his or her love would allow us to enter is, of all that love demands in order to come into being, what it prizes the most, and what makes it care little for the rest.
All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
The fixity of a habit is generally in direct proportion to its absurdity.
There is nothing like desire for preventing the thing one says from bearing any resemblance to what one has in one's mind.
Things don't change, but by and by our wishes change.
