Quote by Philippe Besson

“In hindsight, I'm shocked by my attitude. Ever rational and pragmatic, how did I manage to sweep away the evidence, the undeniable certainty of the end? I suppose I didn't want to be overcome by grief in advance.”

“Sad Generation. We are dating people who are busy doing meet ups with other people while we still in the picture, people who are brave to sleep with someone else and come back to sleep with you, a person who will look deep in your eyes and say I love you while they don't mean it. That's how messed up we are as a nation. We are a generation were alcohol is turned into cool drinks, Relationship are hobbies, Breaking a girls virginity is an achievement, Hurting someone is a joke, Beating up your girlfriend is a discipline, Suicide has become natural Death and cheating is a part of relationship. Our generation is lost...”

“We need difference to help us grow and blossom. It is what happens in life-enhancing relationships. Imagine living with a clone of yourself. How utterly boring. How uninspiring. How intolerable. We need difference to make life worth living. We are drawn to people who change us. Not change us into less of ourselves but into something we cannot be in our own solitariness.”

“The earth may die. Life may get extinguished. The civilization we have carefully nurtured with great effort may get destroyed. The doomsday scenario may play itself out unless we move away from the caveman mentality of the past in which we are stuck. The caveman feared his neighbour just as he was terrified of the wild beasts and the forces of nature that overwhelmed him. Today, we fear our neighbour more than wild beasts or natural calamities since very sophisticated instruments of destruction are at his disposal. That is not an improvement on caveman mentality. There seems to be no chance for survival of humankind or life itself unless the suspicious, predatory and adversarial nature of his relationship with his neighbours and with nature itself changes. Culture is responsible for this state of affairs.”
