Quote by Pascal Quignard

“Depuis que je suis née je n'ai pas vu d'hommes qui se donnassent entièrement à la femme qu'ils aimaient. Et je n'ai jamais vu d'hommes qui ne cherchent dans leur compagnie quelque chose de soumis, d'agréable, d'odorant, de nourricier, d'approbateur, une enveloppe tiède et douce, une part de sa reproduction, un souvenir de mère. Les absentes sont toujours là. Les grandes absentes sont de jour en jour plus hautes et l'ombre qu'elles portent plus opaque. Ce qui a été perdu a toujours raison.”

“Agnosticism is compatible with faith. We either believe or not, irrespective of our ability to find the truth. Faith, developed or established based on the nominal religion, is not proof of our ability to prove God’s existence and is not proof of our implied agnosticism. Genuine faith is based on the belief in God regardless of the lack of evidence, religion, or agnosticism that may exist in a believer.”

“Where is any author in the world Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye? — Love's Labor Lost. The eyes appears to be more immediately connected with the soul than any other organ. A woman reflects every emotion, almost every thought from her two wonderful, priceless eyes, and no feature of her face is more a telltale of her nature. "Show me," says the old Chinese proverb, "a man's eyes, and I will tell you what he might have been. Show me his mouth, and I will tell you what he has been." The same is true of women. Up to thirty or thirty-five a woman may be actress enough to make her eyes tell one tale, while her life would reveal another; but little by little the true state of a woman's soul stands forth in the expression, the frankness, the furtiveness, the candor, or the boldness”
