Quote by Romain Gary

“J'étais jeune, plus jeune que je ne le croyais. Ma naïveté cependant était était vieille et désabusée. Éternelle en vérité: je la retrouve dans chaque génération nouvelle, depuis celle des "rats" de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, de 1947, jusqu'à la beat generation californienne qu'il m'arrive de fréquenter parfois, pour m'amuser à reconnaître, en d'autres lieux et d'autres visages, les grimaces de mes vingt ans.”
