Albertine Quotes

“Her blue, almond-shaped eyes - now even more elongated - had altered in appearance; they were indeed of the same colour, but seemed to have passed into a liquid state. So much so that, when she closed them, it was as though a pair of curtains had been drawn to shut out a view of the sea.”
― Marcel Proust, The Captive / The Fugitive

“She was capable of causing me pain, but no longer any joy. Pain alone kept my wearisome attachment alive.”
― Marcel Proust, The Captive / The Fugitive
