“Oh, pride, pride. I was so wrong. It defeated me. It simply proved insurmountable. There was so much, oh, far too much for me. I mean, there's the weather, there's the water and the land, there are the animals, and the buildings, and the past and the future, there's space, there's history. There's this thread or something caught between my teeth, there's the old woman across the way, did you notice she switched the donkey and the squirrel on her windowsill? And, of course, there's time. And place. And there's you, Mrs. D. I wanted to tell part of the story of part of you. Oh, I'd love to have done that."
"Richard. You wrote a whole book."
"But everything's left out of it, almost everything. And then I just stuck on a shock ending. Oh, now, I'm not looking for sympathy, really. We want so much, don't we?"
"Yes. I suppose we do."
"You kissed me beside a pond."
"Ten thousand years ago."
"It's still happening.”
― The Hours

“Tu peux être grave et fou, qui empêche ? Tu peux être tout ce que tu veux et fou en surplus, mais il faut être fou, mon enfant. Regarde autour de toi le monde sans cesse grandissant de gens qui se prennent au sérieux. Outre qu'ils se donnent un ridicule irrémédiable devant les esprits semblables au mien, ils se font une vie dangereusement constipée. Ils sont exactement comme si, à la fois, ils se bourraient de tripes qui relâchent et de nèfles du Japon qui resserrent. Ils gonflent, gonflent, puis ils éclatent et ça sent mauvais pour tout le monde. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'image meilleure que celle-là. D'ailleurs, elle me plaît beaucoup. Il faudrait même y employer trois ou quatre mots de dialecte de façon à la rendre plus ordurière que ce qu'elle est en piémontais. Toi qui connais mon éloignement naturel pour tout ce qui est grossier, cette recherche te montre bien tout le danger que courent les gens qui se prennent au sérieux devant le jugement des esprits originaux. Ne sois jamais une mauvaise odeur pour tout un royaume, mon enfant. Promène-toi comme un jasmin au milieu de tous.”
