Quote by Dominique Fortier

“Les livres sont des fantômes. Les lettres ne valent guère mieux, qui se construisent à même l'absence de ceux qu'on aime. Même les plus belles, les plus tendres, les plus émouvantes ne cessent de chuchoter : je ne suis pas là.”

I try not to love him. I really try.”

“For what is eternal......Speak to me of it.... That which emerges ....through the thick drizzle of grief.....for you find your way...and sense what you seek.....for the charm remains formless....in the silence that is soundless.....as it resounds ...amidst the mountains........and emerges through the vales.....for what is truly beautiful never really dies....rather stays as a pure spring of delight......”
