“Some things need to go permanently wrong before we can start to admire the stem of a rose or the petals of a bluebell. But once we realize that the larger dreams are always compromised in some way, with what gratitude we many turn to these minuscule islands of serene perfection and delight.”
Alain de Bottom

“Seducția e o formă de actorie, o trecere de la un comportament spontan la unul modelat de public. Dar la fel cum actorul trebuie să aibă o reprezentare despre așteptările publicului, și seducătorul trebuie să aibă o idee despre ce vrea să audă persoana iubită – așa încât, dacă există un argument fnal împotriva
mințitului pentru a fi iubit, acela e că actorul nu poate avea nicio idee despre ceea ce emoționează publicul ei sau al lui.”
Alain de Bottom

“Avionul e un simbol al lumescului, ducând cu sine o urmă din toate teritoriile pe care le-a străbătut; veșnica lui mobilitate oferă o contrapondere imaginară sentimentelor de stagnare și limitare.”
Alain de Bottom
