“Si quelqu’un a volé, ou porté atteinte à autrui, ou même tué un autre homme, on envoie quérir la Clairvoyante. Car certains font le mal sans en ressentir aucune honte. Et nombre d’entre eux parviennent à cacher leurs scrupules au plus profond de leur conscience en se trouvant de multiples excuses. Ils vont parfois même jusqu’à se convaincre qu’ils étaient dans leur bon droit en commettant leur crime. Mais lorsqu’ils rencontrent la Clairvoyante, ils ne peuvent plus se cacher leurs méfaits ni les dissimuler aux autres. La plupart des hommes connaissent le repentir. Et quand il m’arrive de rencontrer quelqu’un qui n’en éprouve pas ou presque, je fais en sorte qu’il ressente une douleur. Car j’ai appris à utiliser ce don inhabituel qui est aussi le tien.”

“I sing of calamitous dogs, those that wander among the winding ravines of great cities, or those whose sparkling, winning eyes have asked some misfit: "Take me with you, and our combined wretchedness might make some sort of happiness!”

“Idyllic is how Kundera describes human relationships with animals. Idyllic because animals were not expelled with us from Paradise. There they remain, untroubled by such complications as the separation of body and soul, and it's through our love and friendship with them that we are able to reconnect to Paradise, albeit by just a thread.”
