L’aube je t’aime, j’ai toute la nuit dans les veines.

Paul Eluard (via mesillusionssousecstasy)

“Seule l'opiniâtreté triomphe des tempêtes. Seule la constance mène au but. Cet enseignement frappe la bannière homérique : la longueur de vue, la fidélité constituent les plus hautes vertus. Elles finissent par remporter le combat contre l'imprévu. Ne pas déroger, seul honneur de la vie.”

Sylvain Tesson. Un été avec Homère.

“My darling, I'm waiting for you — how long is a day in the dark, or a week? The fire is gone now, and I'm horribly cold. I really ought to drag myself outside but then there would be the sun. . . I'm afraid I waste the light on the paintings and on writing these words. We die, we die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have entered and swum up like rivers, fears we have hidden in, like this wretched cave. We are the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men. I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds. That's all I've wanted — to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on earth without maps...”
