“Even today the French capital occasionally still gives off an aura of vernal romance and excitement, although modern Paris is a spectral reflection of its vibrant past. It too has succumbed to the corrosive torpor of global blandness and uniformity.”

“One of the many sorrowful aspects of the story of Marie Duplessis is that she was mourned by so many for so long because she died very young. Most of her contemporaries outlived her, which is why many now underwent the eerie experience of seeing one of their own turned into fiction and myth while they were still only in their twenties or early thirties.”
