“ The imagination, aroused by the possibility that it will not achieve its aim, is obliged to mask it with another, and by replacing sensual pleasure with the idea of penetrating someone’s life, makes sure we neither recognize that pleasure, experience its true flavour nor restrict it to its dimension of mere pleasure. ”
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (1919). copy citation
