Quotes by Madeleine Bourdouxhe (?)

“However completely people might fulfil themselves in other spheres, if they don’t possess this understanding between their hands and material objects, they can never have more than an incomplete understanding of the world.”

“In Marie non c'era né entusiasmo né odio né sconforto. E nemmeno indifferenza. Piuttosto una sorta di scontrosa serenità. Se aveva un desiderio, era quello di essere un uomo che cammina su una strada, dorme e mangia dove capita, si siede su un mucchio di sassi e taglia un pezzo di pane con un temperino. Se provava un piacere, era quello aspro e inusitato della disponibilità. Camminava con passo sicuro, gli occhi scintillanti e la testa alta - troppo alta. E la stagione dell'anno moriva troppo delicatamente per la stagione del cuore che, al ricordo di una notte, riceveva una folgorazione, una luce troppo cruda, quasi fredda.”
