(...)"If we may be so bold: the sharp edge of sensitivity on the one hand, the very subtle construction on the other. All of it in a sort of perpetually threatened emotion".
​
(... )"Si l'on peut aller jusque là, le tranchant de la sensibilité d'une part, la très subtile construction d'autre part, tout cela dans une sorte d'émotion perpétuellement menacée".
J-M H 1995
