I’m one of those people who, in order to thoroughly enjoy a book, underlines my way through it. I re-read this one in the last month and thought i’d write things down down.

\n“C’\u00e9tait un m\u00e9lange de force indiscutable et de solitude d\u00e9finitive. Il les mettait \u00e0 l’abri de toutes les d\u00e9faites, et de tous les bonheurs. Ainsi ils perdaient, invaincus, toute leur vie.”<\/p>\n
page 232
\n“Car c’est exactement ainsi qu’apparait la position destinale de l’homme: etre face au monde, avec soi-meme dans le dos.”<\/p>\n

\n“la cruaut\u00e9 c’est la vertu par excellence des m\u00e9diocres”<\/p>\n
