“All we have is the story we tell. Everything we do, every decision we make, our strength, weakness, motivation, history, and character-what we believe-none of it is real; it's all part of the story we tell. But here's the thing: it's our goddamned story!”
― Jess Walter, Beautiful Ruins

“I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But (...) we must see all scars as beauty. (...) Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, 'I survived'.”
― Chris Cleave, Little Bee

“But aren't all great quests folly? El Dorado and the Fountain of Youth and the search for intelligent life in the cosmos-- we know what's out there. It's what isn't that truly compels us. ”
― Jess Walter, Beautiful Ruins

“Ici aussi, j'ai beaucoup attendu."

"Attendu quoi ?"

"Une femme vive. L'incarnation étourdissante d'un mouvement perpétuel. Elle voulait parcourir le monde. Moi, j'étais déjà lourd. Je n'ai su ni la retenir ni la suivre. Je suis juste parvenu à lui faire deux enfants. J'aimais l'amener au Louvre. Un jour, nous étions ici, elle m'a dit... 'Reste là, si tu les aimes tant, ces femmes de pierre. Moi, je reviendrai te voir quand je serais vieille.'

Alors voilà.
J'attends.”
