“Life has meaning and we grown- ups know what it is” is the universal lie that everyone is supposed to believe. Once you become an adult and you realize that’ s not true, it’ s too late. The mystery remains intact, but all your available energy has long ago been wasted on stupid things. All that’ s left is to anesthetize yourself by trying to hide the fact that you can’ t find any meaning in your life, and then, the better to convince yourself, you deceive your own children.”

“I have finally concluded, maybe that's what life is about: there's a lot of despair, but also the odd moment of beauty, where time is no longer the same. It's as if those strains of music created a sort of interlude in time, something suspended, an elsewhere that had come to us, an always within never. Yes, that's it, an always within never.”
