« love binds us without attaching us love engages us without locking us up love makes us tremble without putting us in fear love makes us cry without closing our heart love makes us desire without possessing love follows us and makes us free. »

« Do I find myself on some quiet plate? Is there any voluptuousness that tickles me? I do not let her fizzle the senses, I associate my soul, not to commit to it, but to subscribe to it, not to get lost in it but to be there; and the employment on his part (for his part) to look at himself in this prosperous state, and weigh and estimate happiness and amplify. Montaigne Essays, III, 13. »

« The most important attitude, the royal way, the one that is the crowning of wisdom, is to acquiesce to life. It's about accepting reality. Don't refuse what's coming. Some things can and should be changed. But let's start by saying "yes" to life. A disease occurs: let's accept it and do what it takes to heal. »
