Quote by Jacques Parizeau

“Vouloir réaliser l'indépendance de son pays ne s'appuie pas que sur des arguments rationnels, des calculs de coûts et bénéfices et des espoirs d'amélioration du niveau de vie. D'abord et avant tout, il y a le désir pour un peuple, une nation, d'être responsable de lui-même, de vouloir vivre ensemble, de se dessiner un avenir commun, d'appuyer tout cela sur la fierté d'une histoire commune.”

“Some friends are more significant and important than other friends. A special friend can often change your life for the better. You will know when this special person enters your life because of the respect you have for them. They will never lie or set you aside for someone or something else. You will have undying trust in this person that any words spoken will never find another ear. They always returned calls at the earliest possible time. They will check in often to see what is going on in your life and just talk. Your accomplishments will be applauded with praise and losses will never be repeated. This friend has you melted within their heart as you do theirs. When you find such a person be sure to return the love and understand they have gifted you and your life.”
