Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Is suffering so very serious? ...I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful... hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain... is no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Don't cudgel your brains over my little problems.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
