« The friend is not an alter ego, another myself. I want it other than me, it attracts me as being different, not too much anyway, not too "other" as can be the other sex. »

« In friendship, wouldn't that be what we look for and find? A way to escape the anonymous violence of the so-called outer world and the torments of the so-called internal world. »

« ... I believed that day, that night, that men and women want only one thing: to unite. I refuse to think that this moment of grace is ephemeral, I would like it timeless. For a little I would have praised the perfect agreement, the harmony. The happy ending, I know, is just good for novels with rose water like those published by Harlequin, or like the sentimental films that little Alice loved so much. Regardless, this is how I wish to put an end to this book that I dedicate to it, singular. »
