Guillaume Musso
“Le destin, ça n’existe pas, trancha froidement Shino. Le destin, c’est l’excuse de ceux qui ne veulent pas être responsables de leur vie.”
Guillaume Musso, Je reviens te chercher

Sherwin B. Nuland
“We die so that the world may continue to live. We have been given the miracle of life because trillions upon trillions of living things have prepared the way for us and then have died—in a sense, for us. We die, in turn, so that others may live. The tragedy of a single individual becomes, in the balance of natural things, the triumph of ongoing life.”
Sherwin B. Nuland, How We Die: Reflections of Life's Final Chapter

Haruki Murakami
“They tell us that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, but I don't believe that,' he said. Then, a moment later, he added: 'Oh, the fear is there, all right. It comes to us in many different forms, at different times, and overwhelms us. But the most frightening thing we can do at such times is to turn our backs on it, to close our eyes. For then we take the most precious thing inside us and surrender it to something else.”
Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

Guillaume Musso
“Non, reprends-toi ! La vie est belle. Tu as tout ce que tu désires. Et tu sais très bien qu’on est toujours tout seul. Dans les moments vraiment flippants de l’existence, on est tout seul. On est tout seul quand l’amour s’en va, tout seul quand les flics débarquent au petit matin, tout seul face au médecin qui nous annonce un cancer, tout seul quand on crève…”
Guillaume Musso, Je reviens te chercher

“The baby I could keep came when I was already dead.

I was twelve when I was murdered, fourteen when I looked into the Yalu River and, finding no face looking back at me, knew that I was dead. I wanted to let the Yalu's currents carry my body to where it might find my spirit again, but the Japanese soldiers hurried me across the bridge before I could jump.”
Nora Okja Keller, Comfort Woman
