[blackswaneuroparedux]

Il y a une fausse modestie, qui est vanité ; une fausse gloire, qui est légèreté ; une fausse grandeur, qui est mesquinerie ; une fausse vertu, qui est hypocrisie, et une fausse sagesse, qui est pruderie.

Jean de La Bruyère

"It is fortunate to be of high birth, but it is no less so to be of such character that people do not care to know whether you are or are not."

Jean de la Bruyere, essayist and moralist (16th August 1645-1696)

[ombre-originelle]

Les hommes souvent veulent aimer, et ne sauraient y réussir : ils cherchent leur défaite sans pouvoir la rencontrer ; et si j’ose ainsi parler, ils sont contraints de demeurer libres.

My Dear Husband,

Oh Oscar, how are people expected to do this? How does the world expect me to go back to my job, or my life, or my duties after I get to revel in our marital bliss with you. Now that I had a taste, how am I expected to go back to what was before?

Oscar, my love, I think I may have developed an unhealthy attachment to you, don’t get me wrong. Before I signed our marriage license and before you put our wedding ring on my finger I had loved you more than I myself could ever understand. But now, dearest, now I am consumed by this love, by you. I am so utterly, wholeheartedly, and hopelessly devoted to you.

I love my job but at this very moment I detest it, fuck my job for keeping me away from you……

A reluctant Indycar driver,

Logan.

P.S. I will never ever get tired of calling you my husband, Oscar Jack piastri-Sargeant, loveliest in my heart, dearest to my soul.

P.P.S. Napoleon to Josephine;

A few days ago I thought I loved you; but since I last saw you I feel you I feel I love you a thousand times more. All the time I have known you, I adore you more each day; that shows how wrong La Bruyere’s maxim that love comes all at once. Everything in nature has its own life and different stages of growth. I beg you, let me see some of your faults: be less beautiful, less kind, less good……

10 mai 1696 : mort du moraliste Jean de La Bruyère ➽ http://bit.ly/La-Bruyere Un philosophe qui ne cherchait qu’à vivre tranquillement avec des amis et des livres ; faisant un bon choix des uns et des autres, ne cherchant ni ne fuyant les plaisirs ; poli dans ses manières et sage dans ses discours ; craignant toute sorte d’ambition, même celle de montrer de l’esprit
