Elsa Triolet quotes:

I love the melody of an unknown language, the strange food, all the surprises of a strange town, and my own impatience and curiosity ... I love traveling as others love the gaming table; I anticipate a new place as others anticipate the next number to come up.

Justice, like vengeance, is not good eaten cold.

Time burns but leaves no ashes.

Tolerance enlarges the circle of our acquaintances.

There is no happiness for a society ruled by distrust.

You can kill time or kill yourself, it comes to the same thing in the end.

Do not be astonished at anything, even happiness.

To be a prophet it is sufficient to be a pessimist.

There's no place where one can breathe as freely as on the deck of a ship.
