“كل شئ من الممكن ان يحدث لذلك فالأسوأ محتمل حدوثه لأنه يحوم بدوره في شرزمة الممكن . إن الأسوأ وحش يتجول على غير هدى في الأمور التافهة .”
Pierre Péju, The Girl from the Chartreuse

“J'ai toujours pris un plaisir extrême à penser, sans trop me soucier du tracé de la frontière entre l'imagination et la certitude. L'intérieur de ma tête comme un bordel dont je serai l'unique client d'un soir, l'habitué occasionnel. Pas si seul, car les pensées pensionnaires viennent au-devant de mes désirs : les nobles, cendrées et hautaines, les belles, toutes nues mais poudrées, les ingénues, les petites, les perverses, les noires, les folles, les honteuses. Et les vulgaires, et les très vulgaires, champagne, échancrure et langues qui s'agitent. "Mes pensées ce sont mes catins", comme c'est exact. Luxure mentale. Dehors, le froid. Et les autres, tous les autres, se tiennent dans ce froid. Proches et lointains. Et je les regarde, jumelles, fenêtres sur cou. Nous communiquons par interphones et répondeurs.”
Pierre Péju, La Vie courante

“The impression that the world could swallow itself (…) and in a reverse movement could vomit it to a distant innermost, that would answer to the name ‘nowhere’.”
Pierre Péju, The Girl from the Chartreuse
