Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
There are days when solitude, for someone my age, is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
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
Perhaps the only misplaced curiosity is that which persists in trying to find out here, on this side of death, what lies beyond the grave.
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
If I can't have too many truffles, I'll do without truffles.
