The Illusion vs. Real Love

Proust on "falling in love":

"We fall in love with a smile, the look in someone's eyes, a shoulder. That is enough; then during the long hours of hope or sadness, we create a person, we compose a character".


Marcel Proust, The Fugitive, translated by Peter Collier
(London: Penguin, 2003), 496
