Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a French novelist, essayist, and critic, best known for his monumental novel “In Search of Lost Time” (also known as “Remembrance of Things Past”), which is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature.

Born in Auteuil, France, Proust was the son of a wealthy doctor and an accomplished musician. He was educated at the prestigious Lycée Condorcet in Paris and later studied law, though he eventually abandoned this pursuit in favor of literature.

Proust began his literary career as a critic, contributing articles to various literary journals. His first book, “Pleasures and Regrets,” a collection of short stories and essays, was published in 1896. However, it was not until the publication of the first volume of “In Search of Lost Time” in 1913 that Proust gained widespread recognition as a novelist.

The seven-volume novel, which Proust worked on for over a decade, is a sprawling exploration of memory, time, love, and art, told through the eyes of its narrator, Marcel, as he reflects on his life and the people he has known.

Proust’s writing style is characterized by its rich, evocative prose and its attention to detail, as well as its complex psychological insights. His work has had a profound influence on the development of the modern novel, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.

Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Marcel Duchamp

• I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
• Tradition is the great misleader because it’s too easy to follow what has already been done – even though you may think you’re giving it a kick. I was really trying to invent, instead of merely expressing myself.
• I am against the word ‘anti’ because it’s a little bit like ‘atheist,’ as compared to ‘believer.’ And an atheist is just as much of a religious man as the believer is.
• Words are the tools of ‘to be’ – of expression. They are completely built on the fact that you ‘are,’ and in order to express it, you have built a little alphabet, and you make your words from it.
• A game of chess is a visual and plastic thing, and if it isn’t geometric in the static sense of the word, it is mechanical, since it moves. It’s a drawing; it’s a mechanical reality.
• It is a matter of great indifference to me what criticism is printed in the papers and the magazines. I am simply working out my own ideas in my own way.
• Humor and laughter – not necessarily derogatory derision – are my pet tools. This may come from my general philosophy of never taking the world too seriously – for fear of dying of boredom.
• I was never interested in looking at myself in an aesthetic mirror. My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself. Call it a little game between ‘I’ and ‘me.’
• One must pass through the network of influence. One is obligated to be influenced, and one accepts this influence very naturally. From the start, one doesn’t realize this. The first thing to know: one doesn’t realize one is influenced. One thinks he is already liberated, and one is far from it!
• What art is, in reality, is this missing link, not the links which exist. It’s not what you see that is art; art is the gap.

Marcel Duchamp was a French-American artist and one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art. He was born on July 28, 1887, in Blainville-Crevon, France, and died on October 2, 1968, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.

Duchamp’s early works were influenced by the avant-garde movements of his time, such as Fauvism and Cubism. He is best known for his concept of “readymades,” everyday objects that he selected and presented as art. Perhaps his most famous readymade is a porcelain urinal that he signed “R. Mutt” and titled “Fountain,” which caused a scandal when it was submitted to an art exhibition in 1917.

Duchamp’s ideas and works had a profound impact on the development of modern and contemporary art, and he is considered a key figure in the development of conceptual art. He also had a major influence on the Dada movement, which sought to challenge traditional notions of art and society.

Throughout his career, Duchamp produced a wide range of works, including paintings, sculptures, and installations. He was also an avid chess player and even gave up art for a period to focus on his chess career.

Today, Duchamp’s works are held in many of the world’s major art museums, and his influence can be seen in the work of countless artists who followed in his footsteps.

Mao Zedong was a Chinese communist revolutionary and politician, born on December 26, 1893, in the Hunan province of China. He is regarded as one of the most important figures in modern Chinese history, and the founding father of the People’s Republic of China.

Mao first became involved in politics as a student in the early 1920s, and he was a founding member of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. He led the party to victory in the Chinese Civil War against the Nationalist government in 1949, and became the first chairman of the newly-established People’s Republic of China.

During his time in power, Mao implemented a number of social and economic reforms, including the redistribution of land and wealth, the promotion of women’s rights, and the establishment of universal education and healthcare. However, his policies also led to the deaths of millions of people during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution.

Mao remained the undisputed leader of China until his death in 1976. He continues to be a controversial figure in China and around the world, with some seeing him as a visionary leader who transformed China into a modern, industrialized nation, while others view him as a ruthless dictator responsible for countless atrocities.

He collaborated with artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and Salvador Dali, and he also became involved in filmmaking. Ray’s films, such as “Le Retour à la Raison” (Return to Reason) and “Emak Bakia,” were groundbreaking works in experimental cinema.

Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Malcolm Gladwell

• Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.
• The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.
• We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We’re a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don’t really have an explanation for.
• Those three things – autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward – are, most people will agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying.
• It’s not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It’s whether or not our work fulfills us. Being a teacher is meaningful.
• The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.
• In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours.
• Insight is not a lightbulb that goes off inside our heads. It is a flickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.
• To be someone’s best friend requires a minimum investment of time. More than that, though, it takes emotional energy. Caring about someone deeply is exhausting.
