“ Pleasures are like photographs: in the presence of the person we love, we take only negatives, which we develop later, at home, when we have at our disposal once more our inner dark-room, the door of which it is strictly forbidden to open while others are present. ”
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (1919). copy citation
