"You find what you want after you stop wanting it." I had never heard that, I'd never really heard much of Prust to be honest until this video. Thanks again for making such great literature accessible.

It is hard to express to you how satisfying your videos have become for me. Long past my academic years and facing the reality of senior-hood, your presentations raise my spirit by reawakening my affinity for philosophical contemplation and being present. Thank you so much for all that you are doing for your followers.

It took me hours to finish, going back and forth and taking notes. It has been one of the most inspiring video that I found. It reason with me and I got really interested in reading more about Proust. But it's not only Proust himself. This is the video that each artist should look at. And other that artists, this video is probably for everyone, in particular people that mirror themself with Marcel and all the doubts and question that you answered with the words of Proust. A great job

I just love your analysis. They are sharp, encouraging and right on the spot. Things I didnt think of before becomes so clear and obvious.

I wanted to pursue philosophy but have started law school... your videos are the best. I love your analysis and it gives me an escape from my reality to what I wanted to pursue. Maybe one day I will pursue philosophy but for now your videos help me in keeping me afloat.

Proust was optimistic because he knew maternal love and with it he learned to love his contemporaries

You said everything comes and goes but art remains. I like that, you sound like an ancient Greek philosopher.

This really is particularly good. Content like this is a rare light in the deep black pit that is YouTube.

Suffering and the other end is necessary to make us feel better the loss and learn about them.
And to fly up to feel the greatness of life.
Like when we are close to death

When we read books we read ourselves

Good work dude....maybe making videos to let others know about this is art on itself

[Phorquieu]

Very interesting video indeed! You have mined Proust's books to find the gold he stored away in their many pages... So this means that Proust lived for your (and our) benefit. That was very good of him, and this video of yours is very good of you! (The task remains now for each of us, your audience, to do something, somehow, that will enrich the world, too, and leave it a better place than the one we came into.)

It's a good thing you made this video because I'll never subject myself to the torture of actually reading In Search of Lost Time

[yasminkhan]

Thankyou so much for this beautiful video. You really have great insights. Thankyou. Live long. You will one day be recognized for all the hard work you are placing in your videos. ♥️

Thank You for your wise analysis. The 10 lessons are thoughtful & meaningful, as I start reading Proust for the 1st time. The "Quotes" are a lovely selection, allowing the man himself to speak directly to us the viewers & more so, the readers. Grateful!
