Christophe Mae Quotes & Sayings

Yet, if the world were bettered by
My death or story left untold,

Alive or dead, in either case:
A man so needy never rolled
A mountain from its resting place. — Francois Villon

Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl's lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again. — Elizabeth Bowen
