Quotes by Béatrix Beck (?)

“Avoir résisté à l'envie de mourir donne le droit d'aimer la vie. J'ai passé l'âge d'être triste, où l'on croit ne pas faire partie de l'univers. L'epérience change les soupirs en respirations.”
― Beatrix Beck, L'Enfant Chat

“H mange, cuits sous la cendre et extraits de leur coquille, avec une épingle de nourrice ôtée à son châle, les escargots de ses pierrailles, même les jaunes ou les roses qui ne sont pas comestibles. Mange les orties de son potager cueillies les mains nues. Mange les mûres de ses ronces qui retiennent quelques fragments de sa garde-robe. Mange les hérissons écrasés, nantis par ses soins d'un sarcophage de glaise aux fins de rôtissage. Arrache pour renflouer son grabat les flocons laissés par les moutons aux barbelés électrifiés, le courant ne lui fait rien.”
― Beatrix Beck, L'Enfant Chat

“Dans une contraction de texte, en cinquième, Marielle Bouzumat finit une phrase en bas de page et plaça le point à la page suivante : "Je n'avais plus la place", dit-elle entre deux clameurs de joie de la salle. A mon objection qu'un point n'a pas de surface, elle réplique : "Ceux de la géométrie, non, mais les vrais si.”
