I've entered the world of wine without any professional training, but a definite appetite for good bottles.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
- and how time flies! What, has it already been twenty years, already forty years that we are together? Why, how terrible! We haven't yet said all we wanted to say to each other... May we have a little respite, or else may we be allowed to begin all over again!

So now, whenever I despair, I no longer expect my end, but some bit of luck, some commonplace little miracle which, like a glittering link, will mend again the necklace of my days.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Hope costs nothing.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
That lovely voice how I should weep for joy if I could hear it now!
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
If we want to be sincere, we must admit that there is a well-nourished love and an ill-nourished love. And the rest is literature.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
If I can't have too many truffles, I'll do without truffles.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
By an image we hold on to our lost treasures, but it is the wrenching loss that forms the image, composes, binds the bouquet.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
By means of an image we are often able to hold on to our lost belongings. But it is the desperateness of losing which picks the flowers of memory, binds the bouquet.
