« As long as we want to take, we are not in love, we are in a form of waiting, a bit like the baby waiting for the feeding. But giving is neither sacrificing yourself, nor getting rid of, nor covering up gifts. This is the "man's job": to be able to give love. And one must not wait until you have arrived to give. You have to try it right away, otherwise it would be nonsense! »

« Albert Camus is right, in The Fall, he sums up the malaise: "God is not necessary to create guilt, nor punish. Our fellow human beings are enough, helped by ourselves. » »

« All day long, I try to correct myself and be someone else. How can I be surprised when I'm tired of it and I'm exhausted all the time? I walk as hard as I can to look as much like others as possible, even when I speak, I take care of my speech instead of just being. Who will say the devastation and cruelty of this perpetual and discreet social correction? Hence the immense gift that we can offer our children and our neighbour: non-judgment. »
