Honoré de Balzac
“Les humbles et modestes fleurs, écloses dans les vallées, meurent peut-être quand elles sont transplantées trop près des cieux, aux régions où se forment les orages, où le soleil est brûlant.”
Balzac (de) Honoré, LA MAISON DU CHAT QUI PELOTE

W.E.B. Du Bois
“I sit with Shakespeare and he winces not. Across the color-line I move arm in arm with Balzac and Dumas, where smiling men and welcoming women glide in gilded halls. From out the caves of the evening that swing between the strong-limbed earth and the tracery of the stars, I summon Aristotle and Aurelius... and they come all graciously with no scorn nor condescension. So, wed with Truth, I dwell above the Veil.”
W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk
