“Car tout y était délabré, et adorablement, à la façon d'un vieil arbre couvert de mousse que l'âge a un peu craquelé, à la façon du banc de bois où les amoureux vont s'asseoir depuis une dizaine de générations. Les boiseries étaient usées, les vantaux rongés, les chaises bancales.”

“When I urge you so strongly to your studies, it is my own interest which I am consulting; I want your friendship, and it cannot fall to my lot unless you proceed, as you have begun, with the task of developing yourself. For now, although you love me, you are not yet my friend. "But," you reply, "are these words of different meaning?" Nay, more, they are totally unlike in meaning.[1] A friend loves you, of course; but one who loves you is not in every case your friend. Friendship, accordingly, is always helpful, but love sometimes even does harm. Try to perfect yourself, if for no other reason, in order that you may learn how to love.”
