“You say you're looking for beauty, but this isn't the way to achieve it, my dear friend. You won't find it while you look to yourself, as if everything revolved around you. Don't you see?

― M.L. Rio, If We Were Villains

“Nous sommes faits de l'étoffe dont sont tissés les vents.”
― Alain Damasio, La Horde du Contrevent
