For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me. It is nothing more than this.

Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets. I think what we need is a global protest movement of people who won't give up.

As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.

A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.

But truths need to be repeated many times so that they don't, poor things, lapse into oblivion.

Will we ever learn that certain things can be understood only if we take the trouble to trace them to their origins.

In matters of feeling and of the heart, too much is always better than too little.
