Quotes by Gontran de Poncins (?)

“The French have a wonderful word, farouche, which in one acceptance means “shy, wary, untamed.” It has an animal connotation and refers to instinctive reflexes. There are girls who will not allow a man to put an arm about them, though they have affectionate natures. There are men who cock a suspicious eye at an innocent question, raise a shoulder in defense against the approach of a stranger, yet are warm of heart and hungry for companionship. Poncins was of this tribe.”
― Gontran de Poncins, Kabloona

“And as for myself, I tell you, I have had too much luck these last years. Do you believe that a man's luck can run forever? I know that it can't. For myself, I must somehow erect a bulwark against the ill fortune that is certain.”
― Gontran De Poncins, Kabloona

“I was at peace with myself; and surely of all things in the world the rarest is a civilized man at peace with himself.”
