“Originality consists in trying to be like everybody else and failing.”
-- Raymond Radiguet -
“Facing death calmly is praiseworthy only if one faces it alone. Death together is no longer death, even for unbelievers. The source of sorrows lies not in leaving life, but in leaving that which gives it meaning. When love is our whole life, what difference is there between living together and dying together ?”
-- Raymond Radiguet -
“It is not in novelty but in habit that we find the greatest pleasure.”
-- Raymond Radiguet -
“We should imitate the great classics. We would miss, and that miss would be our originality.”

“In my incoherence I was grateful that for a few moments I had known what it was to suffer-or so I thought. But nothing is less like a thing that that which is closest to it.

-- Raymond Radiguet
