Il ne sert ? rien d'?tre jeune sans ?tre belle, ni d'?tre belle sans ?tre jeune.

Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and — sans End!

 
Omar Khayyam
 

Un conte sans amour est comme du boudin sans moutarde; c’est chose insipide.

? vaincre sans péril, on triomphe sans gloire.

 
Pierre Corneille
 

When you review an exhibition of paintings you don't compose a painting about it, when you review a film you don't make a film about it and when you review a new CD you don't make a little CD about it. But when you review a prose-narrative then you write a prose-narrative about that prose-narrative and those who write the secondary prose-narrative, let's face it, must have once had dreams of writing the primary prose-narrative. And so there is a kind of hierarchy of envy and all those other things.
