« Epictète was already saying that it is not reality that disturbs us, but the opinion we have of it. Desires, fears, prejudices, projections keep carrying me away. But I'm still starting to question the inner cinema in which I'm complacent. What a job to take off one by one the labels affixed to the real! Progress is like offloading here. Again, there is nothing to add, just to remove what prevents you from being and loving. »

« When my neighbour appears only as depressed, when others disappear under the label of diabetic, widower, or black, the reduction to work in many eyes weighs, bruises personality and opens secret wounds. »

« The algodicee is first and foremost the demanding hope that the ordeal that overwhelms me will not destroy me. I must resist him, to pursue at all costs the exercise of my freedom, not to let myself be defeated in order to preserve my joy as an indispensable weapon. »
