“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
~ Plato
“These are the points you should bear in mind, my boy. You should know that the friendship of a lover arises without any good will at all. No, like food, its purpose is to sate hunger. ‘Do wolves love lambs? That’s how lovers befriend the loved!’”
“You may believe this or not as you like. But, seriously, the cause of love is as I have said, and this is how lovers really feel.”

Ce ne sont pas ces fables que j'examine, c'est moi-même.
I am myself a great lover of these processes of division and generalization; they help me to speak and to think.
