“We cannot love or think except in fragments of time each of which goes off along its own trajectory and immediately disappears.”

“Your relationship with objects is selective, personal; only the things you feel yours become yours: it is a relationship with the physicality of things, not with an intellectual or affective idea that takes the place of seeing them and touching them. And once they are attached to you, marked by your possession, the objects no longer seem to be there by chance, they assume meaning as elements of a discourse, like a memory composed of signals and emblems.”

“I was a beggar, and you charitable
I face fleeting kisses to your cool round arms
Do you remember our countless joys
And all those shawls turned to rags?
O' from our shadow-filled hearts what sighs
Flew off into the limitless skies!”
― Les Misérables
