1. ”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.”
2. ”We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full.”
3. ”The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
4. ”We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.”
5. ”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.”
6. ”Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.”
7. ”We are all but dead people, waiting to take our place in the coffin.”
8. ”The bonds between ourselves and another person exist only in our minds. Memory as it grows fainter loosens them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we want to be duped and which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we dupe other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.”
9. ”We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.”
10. ”Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”
