Quotes by Françoise Chandernagor (?)

“Alexandre e Selene eram filhos do amor. Antes fossem órfãos! Os casais apaixonados estão demasiado ocupados com eles próprios para se interessarem pela progenitura: preocupar-se-á a árvore que cresce com os frutos que caem?”
― Françoise Chandernagor, Os Filhos de Alexandria

“On peut mourir de faim ou de froid, mais si l'on en réchappe, on oublie son mal. Quand on n'aurait souffert qu'un seul jour de la honte, on en meurt toute sa vie.”

“Rien n'est ennuyeux a contempler comme le bonheur et la vertu.

Une dame de mes voisine, vrai pilier d'eglise comme on est pilier du cabaret.

Sans doute porte-on mieux les injures sans fondement que celles qu'on sait meritees.

La grandeur d'un destin se fait de ce qu'on refuse plus que de ce qu'on obtient.

Ce travers qu'ont les vieilles coquettes solitaires de se croire aimees de tous les hommes d'importance.

A la Cour, personne hors de Roi, ses ministres et ses marechaux, n'a rien a faire. Les journees se passent en vains propos, en jeux, en intrigues.

Il est inutile de vouloir enseigner les nuances a un aveugle.

C'est le propre de l'homme de rever du superflu quand il manque du necessaire.”
― Françoise Chandernagor, L'Allée du Roi
