“Madame Picard believed that a child should be allowed to read anything: 'A book never does any harm if it is well written.' While she was there, I had once asked permission to read Madame Bovary and my mother, in an oversweet voice, had said: 'But if my darling reads books like that at his age, what will he do when he grows up?' 'I shall live them!' This reply had met with the most complete and lasting success.”

“So I find words I never thought to speak

In streets I never thought I should revisit

When I left my body on a distant shore.”

“J'ai commencé ma vie comme je la finirai sans doute : au milieu des livres.”
