“Pour moi, écrit Pathios, je sais que, souvent, des écrits d'auteurs différents offrent une grande ressemblance et que des écrits de caractère différent remontent à un seul auteur. Car les ressources humaines ne sont pas toujours inaltérables ni immuables, pas plus dans les lettres que dans les autres domaines.”

“C'est un retour sans joie. Le monde que nous avons laissé derrière nous n'existe plus. L'Indochine française s'est effacée. Le Royaume du Laos a basculé. Une république communiste s'est emparée des terres et des esprits. Nous avons rompu avec ce système-là. Notre pays imaginaire te hante, je le sais. Par mon ignorance, je suis préservée de son emprise. Moi, je n'ai que des hypothèses. Mes fictions claudicantes sont bien inoffensives. Elles ne génèrent aucun regret, aucun sentiment coupable. C'est mon amnésie que tu nommes ingratitude et que tu tentes de mater par ton "toujours une Vietnamienne".
