“Love...no such thing.
Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist.
Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.”

“Les gens n'attendent en général qu'une seule chose de vous: que vous leur renvoyiez l'image de ce qu'ils veulent que vous soyez. Et cette image que je leur proposais, ils n'en voulaient surtout pas. C'était une vue du monde d'en haut, une vue qui n'avait rien à faire ici. Alors s'il y a une leçon que j'ai bien apprise en près de vingt-huit ans de présence sur cette Terre, c'est que l'habit doit faire le moine et peu importe ce que cache la soutane.”
