“Celui qui passe à coté de la plus belle histoire de sa vie n'aura que l'âge de ses regrets et tous les soupirs du monde ne sauraient bercer son âme.”
― Yasmina Khadra, Ce que le jour doit à la nuit

“Why sacrifice some for the benefit of others? It’s generally the best and the bravest who choose to lay down their lives for the sake of those who hide in their holes. So why favor the sacrifice of the righteous in order to permit the less righteous to survive them? Don’t you think that’s a way of weakening the human species? What’s going to be left of it in a few generations if it’s always the best who are called upon to exit the scene so that the cowards, the counterfeits, the charlatans, and the pricks can continue to proliferate like rats?”
― Yasmina Khadra

“If you haven’t lost your mind yet, that’s because you haven’t seen very much.”

“Si tu veux pleurer, pleure; si tu veux espérer, prie, mais, de grâce, ne cherche pas de coupable là où tu ne trouves pas de sens à ta douleur.”
