Religions Tend To Disappear With Man's Good

Happy Nations Have No History. History Is The Study Of Mankind's Misfortune.

It Is The Creator Of Fiction's Point Of View; It Is The Character Who Interests Him. Sometimes He Wants To Convince The Reader That The Story He Is Telling Is As Interesting As Universal History.

The Poet Is Never Inspired, Because He Is The Master Of That Which Appears To Others As Inspiration. He Does Not Wait For Inspiration To Fall Out Of The Heavens Like Roasted Ortolans. He Knows How To Hunt...he Is Never Inspired Because He Is Unceasingly Inspired, Because The Powers Of Poetry Are Always At His Disposition, Subjected To His Will, Submissive To His Own Activity.

To Have One's Own Story Told By A Third Party Who Doesn't Know That The Character In Question Is Himself The Hero Of The Story Being Told, That's A Technical Refinement.

The Most Heartbreakingly Poignant Modern Love Story Ever Written.
