Additional quotes by Romain Gary

Elle est inquiète, il faut du temps, nous sommes encore un peu étrangers l'un à l'autre, hésitants, incertains, il nous manque des discordes, des différends, des heurts, la découverte de nos travers, défauts et petitesses, toutes ces incompatibilités qui nous permettront de mieux nous sculpter l'un dans l'autre, de bricoler nos rapports, de nous ajuster, d'épouser peu à peu nos formes respectives, et la tendresse vient alors enrichir ce qui manque à l'un par ce qui manque à l'autre..

They died... Have you ever seen a baby elephant lying on its side, with its trunk inert, gazing at you with eyes in which there seem to have taken refuge all those so highly praised human qualities of which humanity is so largely devoid?

Винаги ми се е искало да бъда мръсник, на когото не му пука от нищо, само че тъкмо когато не си мръсник, се чувстваш такъв, защото истинските мръсници не чувстват абсолютно нищо. Така че единственият начин да не се чувстваш мръсник, е да бъдеш мръсник.
