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

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.

Women make us poets, children make us philosophers.

We always keep God waiting while we admit more importunate suitors.

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.

The ears are the last feature to age.

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