Quotes by Claire Legendre (?)

“Si j'envisage le pire, je ne serai jamais prise au dépourvu. Si je m'accommode de la pire éventualité, j'en deviens invincible. Mon angoisse et mon désir sont le revers l'un de l'autre. Je ne vis que dans l'anticipation alternative du meilleur et du pire.”
― Claire Legendre, Ce désir me point

“La curiosité de l'autre est toujours désespérément moins grande que la préservation de mon identité et de mes certitudes.”
― Claire Legendre, Vérité et Amour
