“I withdraw once again in the contemplation of the desert and its sumptuous architecture.
How is it possible to have such perfect curves with such pure lines, looking as if drawn for infinity but made of... sand, sculpted by the wind? The little wind furrows are almost the perfect mirror image of those left by the pulses of the sea in the sand of the estuaries and on the beaches.”
Francoise Hivernel, 50 Camels and She's Yours

Prince Laurent of Belgium
“I've experienced things I didn't want to know and I'm not happy at all with what's happening now. Those bad people will one day have to answer for their actions. I tell you again: in Libya there are people who have been murdered, because of the money that has been released here. And exactly no one has done it.”
Prince Laurent of Belgium
