“I have always hated crowds. I like deserts, prisons, and monasteries. I have discovered, too, that there are fewer idiots at 3000 meters above sea level than down below.”
― Jean Giono, An Italian Journey
― Jean Giono, An Italian Journey
“And he told stories about the stars above, about the earth below. He told them to make the night pass, and also because his heart was all reflections in which the soul of the world moved.”
― Jean Giono, The Serpent of Stars
― Jean Giono, The Serpent of Stars
“I should like to write about what happens when fictive people encounter and are embellished by real people.”
― Jean Giono, An Italian Journey
