“When I was small child, all that belonged to conservative society was fashionable, and no republicans were welcome in the smartersalons. People living in such a milieu could imagine that the impossibility of ever inviting an "opportunist", much less a "radical", was a thing that would last forever, like gas lamps and horse-drawn omnibuses. But similar to kaleidoscopes turning from time to time, society successively places in various ways elements which were thought to be immutable and creates a new composition.” PeopleWayChildrenLastsPoliticsForeverImagineSocietyFashionRepublicanElementsHorseConservativeVariousWelcomeRadicalGasImagine ThatCompositionLampsImpossibilityFashionableInvitingSmall ChildOpportunistKaleidoscopeMilieu Author:Marcel Proust
