We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.

We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy.

People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.

All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last.

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.

Reading is that fruitful miracle of a communication in the midst of solitude.

An hour is not merely an hour, it is a vase full of scents and sounds and projects and climates.

You can't learn the truth about a man's intentions by asking him.

Even though our lives wander, our memories remain in one place.

It comes so soon, the moment when there is nothing left to wait for.

In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.

Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us.

Desire makes everything blossom

It is often hard to bear the tears that we ourselves have caused.

Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.

Love is a reciprocal torture.

Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade.

We think and name in one world, we live and feel in another.
