More quotes by Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

That lovely voice how I should weep for joy if I could hear it now!
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
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Smokers, male and female, inject and excuse idleness in their lives every time they light a cigarette.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
A woman who thinks she is intelligent demands the same rights as man. An intelligent woman gives up.
