More From Marcel Proust

Take the case of the infinite ocean. there is no limit to its water. suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. the jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but paramatman. then what is this pot? it is 'i-consciousness'. because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. one feels that way as long as this pot of 'i' exists. when the 'i' disappears, what is remains. that cannot be described in words.
Ocean Two Long
This torture why should we tell you our love stories when you spill them together like blood in the dirt? love is a pearl lost on the ocean floor, or a fire we can’t see, but how does saying that push us through the top of the head into the light above the head? love is not an iron pot, so this boiling energy won’t help. soul, heart, self. beyond and within those is one saying, how long before i’m free of this torture!

I do not waste my time writing pot-boilers: the pot must be boiled, and even my pot au feu has some chunks of fresh meat in it. ...i have no time to boil myself down; and anyhow i could not do so and preserve all the necessary nutriment and the flavoring on which the digestibility depends.

Franz kafka is an idea person. his books begin and end in ideas. ideas have always been important to me in my writing. to the point that i have to be careful that they don't take over.
Book Writing Ideas
Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts; but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.
Writing Simplicity Style
It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. good prose is like a windowpane.
Struggle Writing Personality
If a drought strikes them, animals perish--man builds irrigation canals; if a flood strikes them, animals perish--man builds dams; if a carnivorous pack attacks them, animals perish--man writes the constitution of the united states.
