Released: October 1, 2010. Book Novel by Bernard Werber
The author often quotes other people, so these excerpts may not be from him.
"I find television very conducive to culture. Every time someone turns it on at home, I go into the next room and read a book."
"Hairdressing landscape architect" (referring to the profession of hairdresser)
"Experience is the name everyone gives to the sum of their mistakes!"
"The novel is the opposite, it takes the reader for a being capable of forming his own opinion. The article wants to force him to have the same opinion as the journalist, and to reinforce this effect, it uses a subterfuge: the captioned photo."
"It is emptiness that creates the appreciation of fullness. For monks, one must take a vow of silence to experience the pleasure of speaking; one must fast to savor food; abstain to appreciate the power of the carnal act. It is silence that teaches us to enjoy music. It is darkness that teaches us to understand colors".
