Marcel Proust. Runaway (№ 146704)

The mind is not the thinnest, not the strongest, not the most suitable for the attainment of truth, from which follows only that: it is necessary to begin with the mind and not intuition with the subconscious, and with a strong faith in presentiments. Life gradually, from case to case convinces us that the most important thing for our heart or mind we learn not by reason, but by other forces. And then the mind, conscious of their superiority, on reflection, goes to their side and agrees to become their ally, their servant.
