Apparently, she burnt all the love letters from his former mistresses
in order to avoid us knowing who they were.

La famille Française
"Un conte de noel"
by Arnaud Desplechin
"Sometimes it seems to me it would be wonderful to be a french family. Philosophising the entire day about life, then talk a bit of crap or argue, and afterwards go eat dinner and talk some more. And of course, smoke the entire day"

"Soms lijkt het me heerlijk om een Franse familie te zijn. Lekker de hele dag over het leven filosoferen, daarna een beetje slap ouwehoeren of ruzie maken, dan met z'n allen aan tafel gaan en nog meer praten. En de hele dag roken natuurlijk."

l'armure moderne
Everybody needs something to create the illusion of protection.
It could be a phone, a jacket,
sunglasses or make-up.
Without it, we feel insecure and naked.
What about you?

Bérénice
"Pour jamais! Ah! Seigneur, songez-vous en vous-mêmeCombien ce mot est affreux quand on aime?
Dans un mois, dans un an, combien souffrirons-nous,
Seigneur que tant de mers me séparent de vous?
Que le jour recommence et que le jour finisse
Sans que jamais Titus puisse voir Bérénice...
Sans que de tout le jour je puisse voir Titus!"
Acte IV, Scène V
Bérénice, de Jean Racine

One is from the 19th century, the other from the 21st century.
Is there any difference?

le crâne vide
Hair has always been of great importance for women. Long hair is not only seen as a sex symbol, but it is a sign of wealth as well. This is why deliberately shaving your hair off is being perceived as refusal of society. The most famous example is Britney Spears. However, she was not the only one: Angeline Jolie shaved her hair off as well. To me, women with no hair have a singular beauty which is a bit otherwordly. But: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so see for yourself!
So,what do you think?
