“Je peux partir parce que j'ai une maison qui m'attend. Je peux rentrer parce que je suis libre de partir. C'est l'alternance qui donne toute sa saveur à chacun de ces modes de vies. C'est à la fois très ancien et très moderne. Nous avons besoin des deux.”

“Yes I would like he thinks to live in such a way that I could vanish into thin air at any time without affecting anyone and in fact I feel that for me this would constitute the perfect and perhaps the only acceptable life. At the same time I want desperately to be loved.”

“La vanité et l’orgueil sont choses différentes, bien qu’on emploie souvent ces deux mots l’un pour l’autre ; on peut être orgueilleux sans être vaniteux. L’orgueil se rapporte plus à l’opinion que nous avons de nous-mêmes, la vanité à celle que nous voudrions que les autres aient de nous.”

“Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other.”
