Colette

You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm.

I went to collect the few personal belongings which...I held to be invaluable: my cat, my resolve to travel, and my solitude.

It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
