Faire son devoir tous les jours et se fier à Dieu, pour le lendemain. - Charles Baudelaire

The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist.

To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world — impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito.

Fourmillante cité, cité pleine de rêves,
Où le spectre en plein jour raccroche le passant!
