I've never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.
Tu ne pourras jamais être heureux si tu continues à chercher de quoi est fait le bonheur. Tu ne pourras jamais vivre si tu cherches le sens de la vie. De même que les émotions les plus fécondes te fuiront si tu veux les analyser.
Extrait de « Intuitions » (1932), publié dans les Écrits de jeunesse. La traduction anglaise couramment citée ne reprend que les deux premières phrases.
