The Elegance of the Hedgehog/ Muriel Barbery:

"Thinking back on it, this evening with my heart and my stomach all like jelly, I have finally concluded maybe that's what life is about: there's a lot of despair, but also the odd moment of beauty, where time is no longer the same. It's as if those strains of music created a sort of interlude in time, something suspended, an elsewhere that has come to us, an always within never.

Yes, that's it, an always within never.

Because from now on, for you, I'll be searching for those moments of always within never.

Beauty in this world."
