Famous quotes containing the words unsuccessful and/or recall:

“Historian—An unsuccessful novelist.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“It is, after all, very interesting that sound can reflect like water, like a mirror. And notice that Vinteuil’s phrase only shows me that to which I did not pay attention at the time. Of my worries, of my loves at that time, it does not recall a thing, it has made the exchange.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
