A Singular Man Quotes

“I am the abandoned child, now become a man. So everything has turned out pretty well. . . A little too much importance is accorded to things I say.”
― Emmanuel Bove, A Singular Man

“I have not asked anything extraordinary from life. I have only asked for one thing, which has always been refused to me. I have really fought to obtain it. This thing, other people find it without searching. This thing is neither money, nor friendship, nor glory. It's a place amongst men, a place for me, a place that will be recognized as mine without envy, as there will be nothing enviable about it. This place would not be different from the people who occupy it. It would just be respectable.”
― Emmanuel Bove, A Singular Man
