2 Quotes by Anne Berest Audrey Diwan Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas

She doesn’t have a ring on each finger, or a big diamond on each ring.She doesn’t wear a gold watch that costs as much as a fancy car.In fact, she doesn’t own a fancy car.She doesn’t carry an enormous designer bag.But she might have a newspaper under her arm.She might mention Sartre or Foucault in a conversation.It’s her personality that sparkles and nothing else: the signs of intellectual wealth.

We're all misunderstood heroes, overcoming perilous situations with no one there to give us a medal.
