Quotes by Benoît Duteurtre (?)

“Epicurus said you should live for pleasure - adding that nothing brings more pleasure than a little sun and a glass of water. It is on this principle that our conjugal existence has rested for three years, devoted to making love, reading, eating excellent meals, spending a few days in a nice hotel by the sea, visiting out friends (not very many, all without children), going to concerts and movies, sleeping, cultivating our garden.”
― Benoît Duteurtre, The Little Girl and the Cigarette

- Je veux dire qu'aujourd'hui, sous leur influence, le ciel est devenu carrément néo-libéral.”
