« To become light is to humbly accept fate after trying everything to eradicate one's shadow, to assert resistance where revolt and anger prevail, is to refuse that rage or hatred alienate freedom. To be light is therefore to use with force joy against what is sour, against what isolates, to support the one who suffers so that he does not slam into his ill-being. »

« "The misunderstanding vaguely dispelled, I rejoice in the news; my days are not numbered. The senseless weight of this dissipated infant anguish, the painful misunderstanding ceases its torture." »

« I like this return to the body. It is pleasant, when the mind wanders, to get back on the ground to reintegrate the real. In all places, I can decline the exercise: metro station, supermarket checkout, everywhere I return to the body, to sensations, I try to draw resources in the act of living the present. Everything happens as if you had to learn to savour, to appreciate what the moment provides (this bite of bread, this glass of syrup), while a natural slope almost always takes me elsewhere. »
