"Nous ne réussissons pas à changer les choses selon notre désir, mais progressivement notre désir change."
— Marcel Proust

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes the things we want in life don't change the way we want them to, but over time, we change what we want. For example, imagine you really want to be a famous singer, but it just doesn't happen. As time goes on, you might start to find joy in teaching music instead. You may not have become a star, but your desire to share music remains, just in a different form. This means our dreams and goals can shift as we grow and experience life. Instead of being frustrated by not getting what we originally wanted, we adapt and find new things to be passionate about. This change in our desires can lead us to unexpected and fulfilling paths.
