“If you really want to know, I’d rather not have been born at all. I find life very tiring. The thing’s done now, of course, and I can’t alter it. But there will always be this regret at the back of my mind, I shall never quite be able to get rid of it, and it will spoil everything. The thing to do now is to grow old quickly, to eat up the years as fast as possible, looking neither right nor left.”
― J.M.G. Le Clézio, Fever

“Comment oublier le monde? Peut-on chercher le bonheur quand tout parle de destruction? Le monde est jaloux, il vient vous prendre, il vient vous retrouver là où vous êtes, au fond d'un ravin, il fait entendre sa rumeur de peur et de haine, il mêle sa violence à tout ce qui vous entoure, il transforme la lumière, la mer, le vent, même les cris des oiseaux. Le monde est dans votre coeur alors, sa douleur vous réveille de votre rêve et vous découvrez que la terre même où vous avez voulu créer votre royaume vous expulse et vous jette à la mer.”
