“At love's most intoxicating moment, I have enough freedom left to want to abandon it, for a moment, to other hands.”

“The secret of old age is that it has no other reality than its appearance. A drama and mystery that already, I know, belong to maturity. To grow old isn't to change: only the physique alters, but we remain the same. I see no difference, except perhaps in an increased lucidity and knowledge, between what I was fifteen years ago and what I am today. To grow old is gradually to discover the anguish of our condition. I've always been an anxious man, but it used to be only over certain inner monsters. Henceforth, death is within myself. There's not a day when I don't listen to a body in which I've lost confidence, only because I know how old I am and what threatens me henceforth.”
