Sévices Compris:

"Tous les samedis soir, Marie-Margaux prenait, sans raison particulière, une bonne volée. C’était une coutume conjugale à laquelle son mari n’aurait dérogé pour rien au monde : Alain était en effet de ces hommes qui croient dur comme fer que les petites habitudes cimentent le couple, et il tenait à ce que le sien fût aussi solide que possible."

Rollo:

"...yet as the homage could not be dispensed with, he ordered one of his warriors to perform it for him. The latter, as proud as his chief, instead of stooping to the royal foot, raised it so high, that the King fell to the ground."

W. Eugene Smith Fund:

W. Eugene Smith's photographs reflect his boyhood in the American heartland and his coming of age in the agony of World War II. His work, imbued with moral fervor, evinces a clear difference between good and evil, the individual's ability to transcend his or her circumstances, the inherent goodness (even heroism) in people, the capacity and willingness of one person to help others (such as the healers in country doctor, nurse-midwife and Albert Schweitzer). In the photo essays which he did after World War II, he demonstrated a belief in the human spirit and the ability of humanity to rise above the immense destruction it had sown. Like the country which he came from and the magazine, LIFE, which hired him, Smith's work was refreshingly direct, sometimes sentimental and often optimistic.

Used One Speed, Princeton

...those middle-aged emotions.
I am still young, I feel I am. If I wanted I could
ride no-hands, my bike so steady, arms out
like that guy in Goya's Third of May...
