More From Joseph Roux
- "The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable."
- "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."
- "Our experience is composed rather of illusions that of wisdom acquired."
