“People shut their eyes to a distant tragedy saying there’s nothing they could do, yet they didn’t stand up for one happening nearby either because they’re too terrified. Most people could feel but didn’t act. They said they sympathized, but easily forgot. The way I see it, that was not real. I didn’t want to live like that.”

“Dora found beauty in everything. She found nature’s magnificent work and incredible symmetry in a turtle’s carapace, or a stork’s egg, or an autumn reed from a swamp. How wonderful, she would often say. I understood the meaning of the word, but I could never feel the splendor it carried.”

“Tout serait possible, tout si tu étais capable d’aimer. Je dis bien : capable d’aimer comme on dirait capable de marcher. Le fait que tu ne parles jamais, ce qui m’a tellement frappée, vient de ça aussi, de ce manque à dire, d’avoir à dire. Peut‑être est‑ce un retard seulement, je l’espère. Tu n’es même pas méchant. Je suis beaucoup plus méchante que toi. Mais j’ai en moi, dans le même temps, l’amour, cette disposition particulière irremplaçable de l’amour. Tu ne l’as pas. Tu es déserté de ça.”
