“I have always hated crowds. I like deserts, prisons, and monasteries. I have discovered, too, that there are fewer idiots at 3000 meters above sea level than down below.”
Jean Giono, An Italian Journey

“Ce n'est pas la première fois que je veux tuer des mouches avec un canon. C'est la cent millième fois. Cela m'arrive tous les jours et tout le jour. Je prévois toujours le pire et je me démène toujours comme si c'était le pire. Eh ! Prends donc l'habitude de considérer que les choses ordinaires arrivent aussi.”
Jean Giono, The Horseman on the Roof

“I should like to write about what happens when fictive people encounter and are embellished by real people.”
Jean Giono, An Italian Journey
