More From Joseph Roux
- "Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained."
- "We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence."
- "Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite expressions."
