"I will say with Lorenzo de Medici that those who do not hope for another life are always dead to this one."

Previous Quote

We passionately long that there may be another life in which we shall be similar to what we are here below. But we do not pause to reflect that, even without waiting for that other life, in this life, after a few years we are unfaithful to what we have been, to what we wished to remain immortally.

— Marcel Proust
