Delphine de Vigan
“Les loyautés.
Ce sont des liens invisibles qui nous attachent aux autres - aux morts comme aux vivants-, ce sont des promesses que nous avons murmurées et dont nous ignorons l'écho, des fidélités silencieuses, ce sont des contrats, passés le plus souvent avec nous-mêmes, des mots d'ordre admis sans les avoir entendus, des dettes que nous abritons dans les replis de nos mémoires.
Ce sont les lois de l'enfance qui sommeillent à l'intérieur de nos corps, les valeurs au nom desquelles nous nous tenons droits, les fondements qui nous permettent de résister, les principes illisibles qui nous rongent et nous enferment. Nos ailes et nos carcans.
Ce sont les tremplins sur lesquels nos forces se déploient et les tranchées dans lesquelles nous enterrons nos rêves.”
Delphine de Vigan, Les Loyautés

Jon Krakauer
“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Marina Abramović
“Once, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said, “Do you ever know what the birds are singing? You don’t. But you listen to them anyway.” So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.”
Marina Abramović

Robyn Davidson
“There are some moments in life that are like pivots around which your existence turns—small intuitive flashes, when you know you have done something correct for a change, when you think you are on the right track. I watched a pale dawn streak the cliffs with Day-glo and realized this was one of them. It was a moment of pure, uncomplicated confidence—and lasted about ten seconds.”
Robyn Davidson, Tracks: A Woman's Solo Trek Across 1700 Miles of Australian Outback

Delphine de Vigan
“La vida está fuera. La vida de verdad. A Laure le da miedo salir, al mismo tiempo se muere de ganas. Tiene que volver a aprender a vivir sola, a ocuparse de sí misma. Tiene que abandonar esa habitación sobrecalentada cuyas ventanas no se abren, esos horarios inamovibles, esos rituales unificados, blandidos contra el vagabundeo. No está segura de ser capaz. Sin embargo, sabe que ha de ser ahora o nunca. Que ha llegado la hora de hacer las maletas, de vaciar el armario, de descolgar los collages de la pared.”
Delphine de Vigan, Jours sans faim
