Hope costs nothing.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Don't cudgel your brains over my little problems.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
We only do well the things we like doing.
