“So we stood on the corner by the stationery shop and were deeply insincere with each other.
--The Tattered Cloak”
Nina Berberova, The Tattered Cloak and Other Stories

“Venise à la qualité de disparaître en un instant,de ne pas courir derrière le train avec des clins d’œil à gauche et à droite comme le font d’autres villes, mais de sombrer aussitôt, comme si elle n’existait pas, comme si elle n’avait jamais existé.”
Nina Berberova, Le Roseau Révolté

“Paris. Paris. There is something silken and elegant about that word, something carefree, something made for a dance, something brilliant and festive, like champagne. Everything there is beautiful, gay, and a little drunk, and festooned with lace.”
Nina Berberova, The Tattered Cloak and Other Stories
