Nu sunt apostolul viciului, dar voi fi ecoul oricarei nenorociri nobile, oriunde ii voi auzi rugile. - Alexandre Dumas fils

I gave myself to you sooner than I ever did to any man, I swear to you; and do you know why? Because when you saw me spitting blood you took my hand; because you wept; because you are the only human being who has ever pitied me. I am going to say a mad thing to you: I once had a little dog who looked at me with a sad look when I coughed; that is the only creature I ever loved. When he died I cried more than when my mother died. It is true that for twelve years of her life she used to beat me. Well, I loved you all at once, as much as my dog. If men knew what they can have for a tear, they would be better loved and we should be less ruinous to them.

أشعر بأنك صرتِ واقعاً ضرورياً لحياتى .. وبأننى أجن .. ليس فقط إذا صددتنى .. زإنما كذلك إذا لم تسمحى لى بأن أحبك. (أرمان)

لشد ما يشعر الإنسان بقصر الحياة من هذه الانفعالات السريعة التى تأخذ برقاب بعضها بعضاً فى أقصر وقت.
