The questionaire of Marcel Proust (1871 – 1922) A quality I desire in a man. A quality I desire in a woman. What I appreciate most among my friends My principal defect. My favourite occupation. My dream of felicity. What would be the biggest misfortune for me. Who I would like to be. Were I would like to live. The colour I prefer. The flower I love. The bird I prefer. My favourite authors. My favourite poets. My heroines in fiction. My favourite composers. My favourite artists. My heroes in real life. My heroines in history. My favourite names. What I dislike the most. The historic characters I dislike most. The military enterprise I like the most. The reformation I appreciate the most. Natures gift I would like to have. How I would like to die. My soul's present condition. The faults I can bear. My motto.
“At the age of fourteen, Proust was given an English album 'Confessions: An album to record thoughts, feelings'. Seven years later Marcel Proust published this questionaire. In the literary salons in nineteenth century paris, this parlour game was a popular amusement.”
