Quote by Joris Giovannetti

“Le plus cruel, peut-être, c'est que nous cherchons des raisons. Nous sommes habitués à attribuer aux choses et aux formes un rapport de cause à effet que les lois de la physique élémentaire semblent indubitablement respecter. Nous ne nous en plaignons jamais. Il suffit pourtant que l'ordre des choses n'obéisse pas aux règles impérieuses de nos nécessités internes pour que notre système vacille. La force de l'habitude nous entraîne à penser que tout a un sens et une direction et maintient, dans un équilibre précaire, l'illusion d'un ordre donné selon lequel les choses iront bien. Il est rare qu'il en soit ainsi.”

She couldn't tell if she was horrified or mesmerized by the sight of his abs, which looked like a waffle iron, minus the syrup. She'd imagined that underneath the starched and boring button-downs was a stack of white dinner plates in the shape of a human form. But there he was, half-naked and absolutely real.”
