Par ma foi, il y a plus de quarante ans que je dis de la prose, sans que j'en susse rien.
--
Good heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.

Act II, sc. iv.Moliere
Il ne sert ? rien d'?tre jeune sans ?tre belle, ni d'?tre belle sans ?tre jeune.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
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.
Anatole France
? 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.
