1 " Let an illness, a duel, a runaway horse make us see death face to face, and how richly we should have enjoyed the life of pleasure, the travels in unknown lands, which are about to be snatched from us! And no sooner is the danger past than we resume once more the same dull life in which none of those delights existed for us. "
― Marcel Proust , The Captive / The Fugitive (In Search of Lost Time, #5-6)
