“Sentindo-se desde algum tempo indisposto e melancólico, principalmente depois que Odette apresentara Forcheville aos Verdurin, desejaria ir descansar um pouco no campo. Mas não teria coragem de deixar Paris um único dia enquanto Odette ali estivesse. A atmosfera estava quente; eram os mais belos dias de primavera. E muito embora atravessasse uma cidade pétrea para meter-se nalgum recinto fechado, o que sempre tinha diante dos olhos era um parque que possuía perto de Combray, onde, desde as quatro horas, antes de chegar à horta de aspargos, graças ao vento que sopra dos campos de Méséglise, se podia, debaixo de uma latada, gozar de tanta frescura como à beira do tanque bordado de miosótis e palmas-santa-rita, e onde, quando ele jantava, corriam em torno da mesa, afestoados pelo jardineiro, os ramos de groselhas e rosas.”

“Holden... One short, faintly stuffy, pedagogical question. Don't you think there's a time and place for everything? Don't you think if someone starts out to tell you about his father's farm, he should stick to his guns, then get around to telling you about his uncle's brace? Or, if his uncle's brace is such a provocative subject, shouldn't he have selected it in the first place as his subject—not the farm?' I didn't feel much like thinking and answering and all. I had a headache and I felt lousy. I even had sort of a stomach-ache, if you want to know the truth. 'Yes—I don't know. I guess he should. I mean I guess he should've picked his uncle as a subject, instead of the farm, if that interested him most. But what I mean is, lots of time you don't know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn't interest you most. I mean you can't help it sometimes. What I think is, you're supposed to leave somebody alone if he's at least being interesting and he's getting all excited about something. I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice. You just didn't know this teacher, Mr. Vinson. He could drive you crazy sometimes, him and the goddam class. I mean he'd keep telling you to unify and simplify all the time. Some things you just can't do that to. I mean you can't hardly ever simplify and unify something just because somebody wants you to.”
