I met JJ again at a mathematics conference sponsored by Rice University in Houston, Texas. Just like the first time, he was sitting alone at a table in a corner of the hotel bar, gazing at me across the room with dark, inscrutable eyes.

As soon as I sat down, he pushed a piece of paper in my direction. “Here,” he said laconically. “For your students.”

Aucun poète n’a jamais interprété la nature aussi librement qu’un avocat interprète la réalité.

Jean Giraudoux
