Change, like healing, takes time.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

Success is relative: It is what we can make of the mess we have made of things.

J'ai créé toutes les fêtes, tous les triomphes, tous les drames. J'ai essayé d'inventer de nouvelles fleurs, de nouveaux astres, de nouvelles chairs, de nouvelles langues.

I shall be content if, because of me, there shall be better fruits and fairer flowers.
