low self-esteem

Sophie was illiterate but took a name for wisdom

Keep using one lie after another to cover up your inferiority complex

Involuntarily chose her friend

Free access to spaces that do not belong to them

A family of employers incarnated by estranged knowledge

The secret of obtaining privacy by eavesdropping

Arm yourself with threats when lies are exposed

Threats lose their umbrella

Recklessly cast aside the goodness of others in the name of God

It was a peaceful steal

The gunshots of vengeance shatter the calm of reality

Don Juan's music plays

It's a helpless play on life

The Absurdity and Thriller of Human Nature

La Cérémonie quotes

  • Georges Lelievre: [referring, respectively, to Sophie the illiterate maid and Jeanne the nosy postal clerk] What a pair: one can't read at all, and the other reads our mail.

  • Man at Melinda's birthday party: Speaking of quotes, I have one that's less famous, but quite troubling. "There are aspects of good people I find loathsome, least of all the evil within them."

    Woman at Melinda's birthday party: My God... Who said that?

    Georges Lelievre: Nietzsche.
