Quotes by Pascal Lainé (?)

“La vie est faite d'histoires sans queue ni tête: ces fariboles se suivent dans un ordre dont on ne saisit pas la raison; mais on cherche, parbleu, on cherche!
Il faudra pourtant s'en contenter; la vie est notre "best-seller" quotidien. Quant à la "morale de la fable", c'est ce que nous découvrirons à la fin, ou que nous n'apprendrons jamais. La vie vaut-elle d'être vécue? Tant mieux si les hasards de l'existence ne nous imposent pas une opinion bien tranchée!”

“L'esprit de l'époque voulait qu'on allât au bout du possible, qu'on s'aventurât même au-delà, y compris en transgressant les règles élémentaires de la prudence. Bientôt des alpinistes en chapeau mou et chaussures basses, des explorateurs à bandes molletières et moustache gominée, des fous volants, des découvreurs de terres vierges ou de mers encore inconnues, nourriront de leurs exploits l'insatiable imagination de leurs contemporains, ou bien leur offriront leur mort tragique et absurde, aux commandes incertaines de quelque engin de leur invention, hybride cocasse de cageot à légumes et de cerf-volant.”

“C'est folie, bien sûr, que de vouloir soumettre les événements, dans leur ordre aléatoire (et pareillement les humains, dans leur égoïsme naturel), aux règles de la logique ou du simple bon sens. Le monde ne tourne rond que pour les astronomes. Pour le commun des mortels, notre planète va au hasard, lamentable Nef des fous, subissant tour à tour la tempête ou la bonace, et ne trouvant aucun havre sur sa route.”
― Pascal Lainé, El misterio de la torre Eiffel
