I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.
Samuel Butler (1835 – 1902)

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones,

as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

(Francois de La Rochefoucauld)



« Je regarde une rose et je suis apaisé ».

“I look at a rose and I am appeased.”


Victor HUGO (1802 – 1885) Auteur romantique français


Advice is like snow – the softer it falls,

the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind.
