" "

I battled my feelings of inferiority bravely, picking out a guest and imagining him floating in the air at the end of a line I held in my hand, with his stiff-legged trousers, his checked vest, and his yellow tie, propelled this way or that with a flick of my hand. It was the first time I had wielded my imagination as a weapon of defense, and nothing ever turned out to be more beneficial to me in this life.

Additional quotes by Romain Gary

از صاحب مغازۀ سگ‌فروشی، اجازه خواستم که سگِ کوچولوی خاکستریِ موفرفری‌اش را ناز کنم. سگ را به من داد. سگ را گرفتم، نازش کردم و مثل برق زدم به چاک. اگر چیزی را خوب بلد باشم، همین دویدن است. بدون دویدن، در زندگی هیچ کاری نمی‌شود کرد

جوانک‌هایی را می‌شناسم که خودشان را با انواع کثافتها مشغول می‌کنند. اما من برای خوشی و شادی، حاضر نیستم کون زندگی را بلیسم. باهاش تعارفی ندارم. گور پدرش کرده.
