“Mon prof de français a dit : souvent vous aimez énormément quelqu'un et vous sortez avec pas parce que vous êtes amoureux, mais parce que vous vous sentez aimé, vous avez la sensation d'être quelqu'un de bien et vous aimez l'image que la personne vous renvoie. Mais vous ne l'aimez pas vraiment, et vous le réaliser seulement une fois que c'est finis.”

Voilà que mon cœur tombe en panne. Ça hésite, ça repart. Ça bat de travers. Je sens que s'il nésite une seconde de trop, je lâche. Je ne bouge plus et j'écoute en moi.

You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

“To get over the past you first have to accept that the past is over. No matter how many times you revisit it, analyze it, regret it, or sweat it… it’s over. It can hurt you no more.”

“In Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhớ. Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, Con nhớ mẹ không? / flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?

— I miss you more than I remember you.”
