Quote by Aurélien Barrau

“Que les délinquants en costume osent qualifier de « progrès » le délire techno-nihiliste qui consiste à attendre le bus en parcourant son mur Facebook et sa galerie Instagram bercé par les notifications Snap et Twitch, à proximité d’une poubelle connectée – alors même que les chants d’oiseaux ont presque disparu et que lire devient une quasi-anomalie – relève de l’aliénation.”

“You’re with a girl. She’s brown-haired and side-swept. I imagine that she’s the kind of girl who can easily shop for jean shorts, and speaks kindly more often than not. She seems like the kind of girl who hates New York City because it wreaks havoc on her shoes (really she just thinks it’s a big and scary place), but once had the time of her life in Spain on a backpacking trip when she was 23. Her gaze is focused on the embracing couple as near strangers capable of judgement. She stands bolted next to you like you’re her anchor in the social storm. You two seem finely matched… but what do I know? (Nothing at all.) I accidentally saw a picture of you and it reminded me that I was dating a man rightfully shaking his fist at God, while trying to hold my hand with the other. I was reminded of how fiercely we tried to hold our relationship together, and how devastated and relieved we were in its destruction. There’s water under that bridge. I accidentally saw a picture of you. No big deal. I wrote about it.”

“A rebel is someone who does not conform to the expectations of others: Do not confirm to what the past expects of you, to what the ex expects of you, and definitely not to what fear expects of you.”

“The thing I truly object to,” Kitty said, “and I know this sounds trivial and I don’t care if it sounds a bit snobbish, but I don’t care about these awful people and I do care about this. It’s that the whole world now thinks about Hanmouth as being this sort of awful council estate and nothing else, and Hanmouth people like this awful Heidi and Micky people. Absolutely everything you read in the papers is about how they live in Hanmouth and, frankly, they don’t. They live on the Ruskin estate where I’ve never been and I hope never to go anywhere near.”
