Pierre Drieu la Rochelle
“Il y a autre chose que le détachement de la vie et l'éloignement de toi, il y a l'orgueil...Je ne veux pas renier, je ne veux pas me cacher, je ne veux pas aller en Allemagne, et je ne veux pas être touché par des pattes sales.”
Drieu La Rochelle

François Mauriac
“Nos vanités construsient ces digues minuscules, ainsi font, avec du sable, des enfants accroupis et le dos tourné à la mer.”
François Mauriac, Préséances

James       Cameron
“Where, I wonder, should I have been over the long years across the world without the spasmodic, always unexpected, and totally reliable friendship of companions like Donald Wise, and Ralph Izzard, and Patrick O'Donovan, and David Holden, and Louis Heren, and Sam White, and Richard Scott, and René MacColl, and Stanley Uys, and Ted Levite, and David Walker, and Tim Baistow, and Stanley Burch, and a score more of their kind, at any moment liable to appear through the swing-doors of anywhere between Tuscaloosa and Tonkin and reduce chaos to the healing anodyne of a glass and the shared misfortunes of existence.
(On journalism in "Point of Departure" page 80)”
James Cameron

Henry de Montherlant
“Il y a désir et désir. Vers le tablao andalou monte un désir qui est l'honneur de la création. Vers la scène du music-hall parisien, monte un désir qui est de la saloperie.”
de Montherlant Henri

Marguerite Yourcenar
“Ce II siècle m'interesse parce qu'il fut, pour un temps fort long, celui des derniers hommes libres. Ence qui nous concerne, nous sommes peut-être déjà fort loin de ce temps-là.”
YOURCENAR MARGUERITE
