Ces brillants imbéciles.

Il existe depuis très longtemps une immense secte d'imbéciles qui oppose sensualité et intelligence. C'est un cercle vicieux: ils se privent de volupté pour exalter leurs capacités intellectuelles, ce qui a pour résultat de les appauvrir. Ils deviennent de plus en plus stupides, ce qui les conforte dans leur conviction d'être brillants - car on n'a rien trouvé de mieux que la bêtise pour se croire intelligent.

La métaphysique des tubes, Amélie Nothomb

An Amélie Nothomb Marathon

Reading over again my Nothombs. I wonder if it's the french, the familiar author or the air filled with spices but I find myself bathing in an ethereal atmosphere.

As if I was a Pipe.

Stop being full of personal opinions

I had a dream last night, and I told the guide in the desert in french that people full of personal opinions hold no ear to human wisdom, even less that subtle of Nature. I remember having read this proverb somewhere. I'm just glad I dreamed of it now because it's now or never.

It's now committed to my memory forever.

Gone to India

That's it. In some hours, I will spend almost two days travelling to the other side of the world.

Bangalore, here I come. I'm leaving with a bucket of blessings, bringing many people's wishes and promises.

Please be kind to me.
