Jean Racine
“Un moment a vaincu mon audace imprudente :
Cette âme si superbe est enfin dépendante.
Depuis près de six mois, honteux, désespéré,
Portant partout le trait dont je suis déchiré,
Contre vous, contre moi, vainement je m’éprouve :
Présente je vous fuis, absente je vous trouve ;
Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit ;
La lumière du jour, les ombres de la nuit,
Tout retrace à mes yeux les charmes que j’évite,
Tout vous livre à l’envi le rebelle Hippolyte.”
Jean Racine, Phèdre

Eva Baltasar
“I realize that I am smoke, that the things that define me rise as they would up a chimney, probing every crack, searching for a wellspring of light or cold... I don't mean my personality. Personality is a dress made of scraps that I never stop washing or mending; it clothes me, might even suit me, but it will never, ever define me. The nakedness I conceal is what makes me a person.”
Eva Baltasar, Boulder

“Look to your left,
look to your right.
I am broken too.
But I am still here.
And I will not be silenced.”
Suzie Miller, Prima Facie

Vita Sackville-West
“But, perversely, the flittering of the butterflies had always remained more important.”
Vita Sackville-West, All Passion Spent

Gaël Faye
“Je n’habite plus nulle part. Habiter signifie se fondre charnellement dans la topographie d’un lieu, l’anfractuosité de l’environnement. Ici, rien de tout ça. Je ne fais que passer.”
Gaël Faye, Petit pays
