Yes, the world may aspire to vacuousness, lost souls mourn beauty, insignificance surrounds us. Then let us drink a cup of tea. Silence descends, one hears the wind outside, autumn leaves rustle and take flight, the cat sleeps in a warm pool of light. And, with each swallow, time is sublimed (Muriel Barbery Quotes)
I won’t get any better by punishing the people I can’t heal (Muriel Barbery Quotes)
Do you know that it is in your company that I have had my finest thoughts? (Muriel Barbery Quotes)
