Additional quotes by Romain Gary

بشر، این خودفریب ابدی، می‌کوشد از طریق هنر والا و پرشکوه که پیوسته محکوم‌به ناکامی و نقص است، پاسخ متقاعدکننده فراهم آورد، پاسخی که هیچ‌گاه جز پرسشی تضرع‌آمیز و بیهوده و غمبار چیزی نبوده و نمی‌تواند باشد.

При мен друго освен всекидневие няма, но от време на време ми става още по-тъпо. Никога не ме болеше, значи нямаше причини, но все едно че бях без ръце и крака, а всичко си ми беше на място. И господин Хамил не може да го обясни.

Известно ми е също така, че съществува взаимна любов, но чак за такъв разкош не претендирам. Някой, когото да обичам - това ми е първата необходимост.
