Originality consists in trying to be like everybody else and failing.
-- Raymond Radiguet -
Facing death calmly is praiseworthy only if one faces it alone. Death together is no longer death, even for unbelievers. The source of sorrows lies not in leaving life, but in leaving that which gives it meaning. When love is our whole life, what difference is there between living together and dying together ?
-- Raymond Radiguet -

-- Raymond Radiguet
