Everyone was good at talking about day-to-day events, but no one ever looked at what motivated them. - André Gide

Croyez ceux qui cherchent la vérité, doutez de ceux qui la trouvent; doutez de tout, mais ne doutez pas de vous-même.

If, as I say, I did not love my betrothed, at any rate, I had never loved any other woman.

At times it seems to me that I am living my life backwards, and that at the approach of old age my real youth will begin. My soul was born covered with wrinkles—wrinkles my ancestors and parents most assiduously put there and that I had the greatest trouble removing.
