“The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.”

“Tu es grand quand tu trouves ton plaisir dans le ciel bleu, dans le chevreuil, dans la rosée, dans la musique, dans la danse, quand tu admires tes enfants qui grandissent, la beauté du corps de ta femme ou de ton mari; quand tu te rends au planétarium pour étudier les astres, quand tu lis à la bibliothèque ce que d'autres hommes et femmes ont écrit sur la vie.”
