Quotes

  • L’amour chez les vieillards a d'étranges racines,Et trouve, comme un lierre aux fentes des ruines,Dans ces cœurs ravagés par le temps et les maux,Cent brèches où pousser ses tenaces rameaux.
  • La vérité sort mieux d’un tonneau que d'un puits.
  • La patrie est aux lieux où l’on a des amis.
