Muriel Barbery
“... c'est peut-être ça la vie : beaucoup de désespoir mais aussi quelques moments de beauté où le temps n'est plus le même. C'est comme si les notes de musique faisaient un genre de parenthèses dans le temps, de supension, un ailleurs ici même, un toujours dans le jamais.

Oui, c'est ça, un toujours dans le jamais.”
― Muriel Barbery, L'Élégance du hérisson

André Gide
“Mes sens s'étaient usés jusqu'à la transparence, et quand je descendis au matin vers la ville, l'azur du ciel entra en moi.”
― André Gide

Muriel Barbery
“Aïe, aïe, aïe, je me suis dit, est-ce que ça veut dire que c'est comme ça qu'il faut mener sa vie ? Toujours en équilibre entre la beauté et la mort, le mouvement et sa disparition ?
C'est peut-être ça, être vivant : traquer des instants qui meurent.”
― Muriel Barbery

“The Church, whose mission is eternity, is keenly sensitive to time and therefore to women. For time is in women's genes. They stand at the intersection of cyclic and linear time. Reconciling the irreconcilable takes work: wait until the time is ripe, wait some more while time does its work, then make haste because time is running out. ”
― Paulette L'Hermite-Leclercq

Hal Foster
“Design is all about desire, but strangely this desire seems almost subject-less today, or at least lack-less; that is, design seems to advance a new kind of narcissism, one that is all image and no interiority - an apotheosis of the subject that is also its disappearance. Poor little rich man: he is 'precluded from all fuure living and striving, developing and desiring' in the neo-Art Nouveau world of total design and Internet plenitude. ”
― Hal Foster, Design and Crime
