Quotes by Michel Déon (?)

“Vient un moment de la vie - mais lequel ? Il diffère pour chacun, très tôt pour les uns, très tard pour les autres, parfois jamais pour de rares élus comblés, mourant les mains, la mémoire et le cœur pleins -, vient donc un moment de la vie où nous nous apercevons que les amitiés, les amours, les sentiments et jusqu'aux lieux et aux mots que nous croyons perdre par une maladresse déprimante, en réalité nous quittent d'eux mêmes, animés d'une sournoise volonté de fuite.”

“En face d'elle, devant ses apparitions et ses gestes qui surprenaient toujours, on se trouvait comme à l'orée d'un bois, prêt à quitter la lumière pour des nappes d'ombre et des éclaircies tremblantes, des pièges et des silences, le parfum légèrement pourri des enchantements.”
― Michel Déon, Un taxi mauve
