» Francois de La Rochefoucauld - all quotes »
Il n'est pas honteux pour l'homme de succomber sous la douleur et il est honteux de succomber sous le plaisir. 160
Blaise Pascal
Martin Amis's reputation as the bad boy of British writing shouldn't overpower the fact that he's simply a fantastic writer. His brash, intelligent novels are sharp with insight, and his wordplay makes reading Amis feel like playing: swinging high in a swing, hanging from monkey bars, just having fun.
Yet his view of the world is not a light one... authors across the "pond" often hone a super-realism that is actually bleak. Amis's hyperbole makes his works funny, but they're funny with an edge.Martin Amis
Le vrai moyen d'?tre trompé, c'est de se croire plus fin que les autres.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
L'homme du Midi ne ment pas, il se trompe. Il ne dit pas toujours la vérité, mais il croit la dire.
Alphonse Daudet
Quitte-t-on sa maîtresse, on risque, hélas! d'?tre trompé deux ou trois fois par jour.
