Marcel Proust Quotes

Perhaps it is not-being that is the true state, and all our dream of life is inexistent; but, if so, we feel that these phrases of music, these conceptions which exist in relation to our dream, must be nothing either.

Marcel Proust

It’s clear that when we’re this outnumbered by the creatures, we have to take a page from the British Empire and rule the lesser species through intimidation. That’s why the single most important thing you can do as a human is to dominate an animal. Need more proof? “Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” I’d say that about covers it. Stephen Colbert
