"I remember now why I liked the previous book so much, the protagonists of the story are so funny and the chemistry between them is so intoxicating that i would like the story never end." — Oct 31, 2017 07:02AM

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?”

“A Voltairian of good stock,” he murmured.
“What is that supposed to mean?” I growled.
“To believe a little in God and much in the devil!”
“Well, yes, Mister Hilmacher, and if the devil is not a part in this business, let him take me to Hell!”
“Mister Burgomaster, you insult the devil. He who undervalues the devil belittles God. I fail to see why the Almighty would occupy Himself with our most insignificant actions and thoughts, like a good old woman during the endless tea hours, and I would find the role of Old Nick singularly petty indeed should he amuse himself with a giant pleasantry that sends a herd and its guardians into the mortal mud of the swamp.”

“L'affaire du couvent des Pères Blancs ne fut pas mauvaise.
J'aurais pu faire main basse sur bien des choses précieuses mais, pour être un indévot, je ne suis pas un incroyant et l'idée seule de m'emparer d'objets du culte, même s'ils sont d'or et d'argent massifs, m'emplit d'horreur.
Les bons moins pleureront leurs palimpsestes, incunables et antiphonaires disparus, mais ils loueront le Seigneur d'avoir détourné une main impie de leurs ciboires et de leurs ostensoirs.
[...]
La vente du buste du dieu Terme m'a rapporté une fortune...oui, une fortune.
Le quart m'a suffit pour racheter les parchemins, incunables et antiphonaires dérobés aux bons Pères Blancs.
Demain, je leur enverrai leur bien en leur demandant des prières...et non pour moi seul.
Mais j'ai gardé le mémoire.
Ils me doivent bien cela.”
