Muriel Barbery Quotes
I Wonder If I Am Not Turning Into A Contemplative ... But Those Roses . They Were Something Else. I Was Having Breakfast And Looking At The Bouquet On The Kitchen Counter. I Don't Believe I Was Thinking About Anything. And That Could Be Why I Noticed The Movement; Maybe If I'd Been Preoccupied With Something Else, If The Kitchen Hadn't Been Quiet, If I Hadn't Been Alone In There, I Wouldn't Have Been Attentive Enough. But I Was Alone, And Calm, And Empty. So I Was Able To Take It In ... In The Split Second While I Saw The Stem And The Bud Drop To The Counter I Intuited The Essence Of Beauty.
