“Vous avez déjà perdu quelqu'un de proche? [...] Vous n'avez jamais l'impression que ces êtres-là vivent en vous? ... Vraiment... Qu'ils ont deposé en vous quelque chose qui ne disparaîtra que lorsque vous mourrez vous-même? ... Des gestes... Une façon de parler ou de penser... Une fidélité à certaines choses et à certains lieux... Croyez-moi. Les morts vivent. Ils nous font faire des choses. Ils influent sur nos décisions. Ils nous forcent. Nous façonnent.”
― Laurent Gaudé, La Porte des Enfers

“Parler une fois. Pour donner un conseil, transmettre ce que l'on sait. Parler. Pour ne pas être de simples bestiaux qui vivent et crèvent sous ce soleil silencieux.”
― Laurent Gaudé, The House of Scorta

“Je vais être minuscule, mais j'ai hâte, car il y a de la noblesse à éprouver son insignifiance, de la noblesse à savoir qu'un coup de vent peut balayer nos vies et ne rien laisser derrière nous, pas même le vague souvenir d'une petite existence.”
