Title:: [[In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower]] Authors:: [[Marcel Proust]] Tags:: #fiction #insearchoflosttime Read:: [[2023-08-21]] Instagram :: https://www.instagram.com/jeronimo_ficus/p/CwMsa4tu5py/ ## Editions - Edition:: [[Penguin Classics]] Deluxe Editions, 2005 - Original Copyright:: - Pages:: 576 ## Annotations “But the specific pleasure of traveling is not that it enables one to stop when tired or to stay somewhere along the way; it is that it can make the difference between departure and arrival not as unnoticeable as possible, but as profound as possible; it is that one can experience that difference in its entirety, as intact as it was in our mind when imagination transported us immediately from where we were living to where we yearned to be, in a leap that seemed miraculous less because it made us cover such a distance than because it linked two distinct personalities of place, taking us from one name to another name…” Hoped to finish this before arriving in Paris (not the best sized book to travel with), but it feels more fitting this way.
