Some people just use beautiful things to just shop or to have a tribal feeling - 'Oh, blah, blah, blah, I'm wearing Hermes blah, blah, blah, I'm wearing Saint Laurent blah-blah blah' - because it's like a need, a tribe, recognition: 'Ahh, my Rolex.' But I run away from anything which is too recognizable - it's my nature.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.
