A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.

Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don't understand us.

We sometimes laugh from ear to ear, but it would be impossible for a smile to be wider than the distance between our eyes.

In the distance, the gestures of animals look human, the gestures of human beings bestial.

Chins are exclusively a human feature, not to be found among the beasts. Ithey had chins, most animals would look like each other.

Animals awaken, first facially, then bodily. Men's bodies wake before their faces do. The animal sleeps within its body, man sleeps with his body in his mind.

The glance embroiders in joy, knits in pain, and sews in boredom. When indifferent, the eye takes stills, when interested, movies. Laughter is regional: a smile extends over the whole face.
