Et puis il le lui avait dit. Il lui avait dit que c'etait comme avant, qu'il l'aimait encore, qu'il ne pourrait jamais cesser de l'aimer, qu'il l'aimerait jusqu'a sa mort.

The story of my life doesn't exist. Does not exist. There's never any center to it. No path, no line. There are great spaces where you pretend there used to be someone, but it's not true, there was no one.

A prolonged silence ensues. The reason for the silence is our growing interest one for the other. No one is aware of it, no one yet; no one? am I quite sure?

I want to write. I've already told my mother: That's what I want to do-write. No answer the first time. Then she asks, Write what? I say, Books, novels. [...] She's against it, it's not worthy, it's not real work, it's nonsense. Later she said, A childish idea.

L'histoire de ma vie n'existe pas. Ca n'existe pas. Il n'y a jamais de centre. Pas de chemin, pas de ligne. Il y a de vastes endroits ou l'on fait croire qu'il y avait quelqu'un, ce n'est pas vrai il n'y avait personne. >>

Paradoxically, the freedom of Paris is associated with a persistent belief that nothing ever changes. Paris, they say, is the city that changes least. After an absence of twenty or thirty years, one still recognizes it." ( )"

Sometimes,' she said, 'I think I must have invented him.' I know all I want to about your child,' Chauvin said harshly. Anne Desbaresdes moaned again, louder than before. Again she put her hand on the table. His eyes followed her movement and finally, painfully, he understood and lifted his own leaden hand and placed it on hers. Their hands were so cold they were touching only in intention, an illusion, in order for this to be fulfilled, fo..

It's while it's being lived that life is immortal, while it's still alive. Immortality is not a matter of more or less time, its not really a question of immortality but of something else that remains unknown. It's as untrue to say it's without beginning or end as to say it begins and ends with the life of the spirit, since it partakes both of the spirit and of the pursuit of the void.

Que la vida es inmortal mientras se vive, mientras se esta con vida. Que la inmortalidad no es una cuestion de mas o menos tiempo, que no es una cuestion de inmortalidad, que es una cuestion de otra cosa que permanece ignorada. Que es tan falso decir que carece de principio y de fin como decir que empieza y termina en la vida del alma desde el momento en que participa del alma y de la prosecucion del viento. Mirad las arenas muertas del des..

She opens her eyes, says: Stop lying. She says she hopes she'll never know anything, anything in the world, the way you do. She says: I don't want to know anything the way you do, with that death-derived certainty, that hopeless monotony, the same every day of your life, every night, and that deadly routine of lovelessness.

Je pense souvent a cette image que je suis seule a voir encore et dont je n'ai jamais parle. Elle est toujours la dans le meme silence,emerveillante. C'est entre toutes celle qui me plait de moi-meme, celle ou je me reconnais, ou je m'enchante.

Ellos rien. Verse reir los vuelve locos de alegria. Ella le pide que la avise cuando un dia se lance a amarla y a saberlo, si alguna vez sucede. Despues de haber reido, lloran juntos como cada dia. Cuando ella se va el sol se precipita, estalla en la habitacion. Cuando ella cierra la puerta, la habitacion cae en la oscuridad, y el entra ya en la espera de la noche

Ella dormiria, dice el actor. Pareceria hacerlo, dormir. Esta en el centro de la habitacion vacia, sobre sabanas blancas extendidas en el mismo suelo. El esta sentado junto a ella. La mira intermitentemente. Tampoco hay sillas en esta habitacion. Sin duda el ha traido las sabanas y luego, acto seguido, una a una, puerta tras puerta, ha cerrado las demas habitaciones de la casa.

I want to take Helene Lagonelle with me to where every evening, my eyes shut, I have imparted to me the pleasure that makes you cry out. I'd like to give Helene Lagonelle to the man who does that to me, so he may do it in turn to her. I want it to happen in my presence, I want her to do it as I wish, I want her to give herself where I give myself. It's via Helene Lagonelle's body, through it, that the ultimate pleasure would pass from him t..

Que l'immortalite ce n'est pas une question de plus ou moins de temps, que ce n'est pas une question d'immortalite, que c'est une question d'autre chose qui reste ignore. Que c'est aussi faux de dire qu'elle est sans commencement ni fin que de dire qu'elle commence et qu'elle finit avec la vie de l'esprit du moment que c'est de l'esprit qu'elle participe e..
