Sometime ago in a Ritz not that near you...

Proust, ao centro, na sala do Hotel Ritz (Paris)

"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

Oscar Wilde 

 Na inauguração do Hotel Ritz de Paris, em 1898, estiveram sob o mesmo tecto Oscar Wilde e Marcel Proust. Só umas paredes como as do Hotel da Place Vendôme poderiam um dia albergar dois homens tão espessos.

"We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us."

Marcel Proust
