![“We desire some pleasure, and the material means of obtaining it are lacking. “It is a mistake,” Labruyère tells us, “to be in love without an ample fortune.” There is nothing for it but to attempt a gradual elimination of our desire for that pleasure. [...] But the pleasure can never be realised…” quote by Marcel Proust](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/270/marcel-proust-114_change_we-desire-some-pleasure-and-the-material_1932257.jpg)
