Muriel Barbery Quotes

The Gifts Of Fate Come With A Price. For Those Who Have Been Favored By Life's Indulgence, Rigorous Respect In Matters Of Beauty Is A Non-negotiable Requirement. Language Is A Bountiful Gift And Its Usage, An Elaboration Of Community And Society, Is A Sacred Work. Language And Usage Evolve Over Time: Elements Change, Are Forgotten Or Reborn, And While There Are Instances Where Transgression Can Become The Source Of An Even Greater Wealth, This Does Not Alter The Fact That To Be Entitled To The Liberties Of Playfulness Or Enlightened Misusage When Using Language, One Must First And Foremost Have Sworn One's Total Allegiance. Society's Elect, Those Whom Fate Has Spared From The Servitude That Is The Lot Of The Poor, Must, Consequently, Shoulder The Double Burden Of Worshipping And Respecting The Splendors Of Language.
