« To deny the body, far from rising, is to lower oneself. Deny the spiritual, same result! Aiming for harmony between these two dimensions, knowing how to manage it, lies precisely the difficult learning of the profession of man; we must always surpass ourselves, constantly go beyond ourselves, to be engendered, to perfect what is already achieved in oneself. »

« A man held a precious stone for all wealth. scrupulously, he looked after his treasure. One day the unfortunate dropped the stone on the ground which altered the smoothing. He asked for the intervention of lapidaries who tried unsuccessfully to eliminate the scratch. The jewel was presented to a stranger: "Look, my stone is damaged forever" The craftsman took his instruments, examined the object, and then desssina on the imprint of the petals and leaves. The artist who takes advantage of reality made me think of your beloved Aristode who gives us a tool that the Greek calls kairos: opportunity, the auspicious occasion, the favorable moment. Aristode suggests that he is good in time. I find it an encouragement to do the right thing in the present, to dare the appropriate word, the gesture that, adjusting to reality, works for good. »
