Il y a sur terre de telles immensités de misère, de détresse, de gêne et d’horreur, que l’homme heureux n’y peut songer sans prendre honte de son bonheur.
André Gide

Saturday, 2 January 2010 | 3:06Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Out with the old
Thursday, 31 December 2009 | 12:03New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.
Hamilton Wright Mabie
And to all a good night
Sunday, 27 December 2009 | 2:33I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
Charles Dickens

Monday, 14 September 2009 | 18:59La promenade est un art amoureux, un art du tissage. Le mouvement des corps et celui des pensées, le fou rire d’un ruisseau et l’effarouchement des bêtes sous les buissons, tout va ensemble, tout fait une seule étoffe, entrelaçant l’air et le songe, le visible et l’invisible.
Christian Bobin, Isabelle Bruges
Petite pensée
Friday, 7 August 2009 | 7:39Qu’est-ce que l’amour? C’est ce que personne ne sait. Mais qu’est-ce que personne? C’est chacun de nous dans le secret de sa vie engloutie. L’amour s’adresse en nous au plus intime, à ce qui, dans le plus intime de nous, est sans visage, sans forme et sans nom: personne.
Christian Bobin, Lettres d’or
