“J'ai consulté mon téléphone: je n'avais aucun message. C'est à cela que servent les téléphones portables, à se rendre compte que personne ne pense à vous. Avant, on pouvait toujours rêver que quelqu'un cherchait à vous joindre, à vous parler, à vous aimer. Nous vivons maintenant avec cet objet qui matérialise notre solitude.”
― David Foenkinos, La tête de l'emploi

“Then since we mortal lovers are,
Ask not how long our love may last;
But while it does, let us take care
Each minute be with pleasure passed:
Were it not madness to deny
To live because we're sure to die?”
― George Etherege, Works: Plays and Poems. Edited With Critical Notes and Introduction

“Life can be driven by two things - fear or passion. When we are driven by passion, our fear takes the backseat and enjoys the ride. When we are driven by fear, there is no ride.”

“The cause of my profound sense of incompatibility with others is, I believe, that most people think with their feelings, whereas I feel with my thoughts.
For the ordinary man, to feel is to live, and to think is to know how to live. For me, to think is to live, and to feel is merely food for thought.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
