“The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”

“SONG OF ONE OF THE GIRLS

Here in my heart I am Helen;
I’m Aspasia and Hero, at least.
I’m Judith, and Jael, and Madame de Staël;
I’m Salomé, moon of the East.

Here in my soul I am Sappho;
Lady Hamilton am I, as well.
In me Récamier vies with Kitty O’Shea,
With Dido, and Eve, and poor Nell.

I’m of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook.
But you are a man, and see only my pan,
So I stay at home with a book.”
― Dorothy Parker, Enough Rope

“Vous ne serez jamais heureux si vous continuez à rechercher en quoi consiste le bonheur. Vous ne vivrez jamais si vous recherchez le sens de la vie.”
― Albert Camus

“Ceux qui aiment et qui sont séparés peuvent vivre dans la douleur, mais ce n'est pas le désespoir: ils savent que l'amour existe.”
― Albert Camus, L’été
