Fav quotes:

“I was on my way for lunch to meet my mother, who was going out on the street for the first time after a long illness, and I was feeling ecstatically happy when suddenly, as I was coming in to the Avenue Victor Hugo, which is a street in Paris, I bumped into a chap without any nose. I ask you to please consider that factor, in fact I beg you. It is quite pregnant with meaning.” p 245

“"I am giving Sister Irma her freedom to follow her own destiny. Everybody is a nun." (Tout le monde est une nonne.)”
