L'idée de ma survie dans ma postérité ne me touche pas beaucoup. L'avenir, cette énigme irritante, m'ennuie. Mais choisir son passé, se laisser flotter dans le temps révolu comme on remonte la vague, toucher au fond de soi le secret de ceux qui nous ont engendré: voilà qui permet de rêver, qui laisse le passage à une autre vie, à un flux rafraîchissant.

Maintenant, je le sais bien. On ne partage pas les rêves.

Comment oublier le monde? Peut-on chercher le bonheur quand tout parle de destruction? Le monde est jaloux, il vient vous prendre, il vient vous retrouver là où vous êtes, au fond d'un ravin, il fait entendre sa rumeur de peur et de haine, il mêle sa violence à tout ce qui vous entoure, il transforme la lumière, la mer, le vent, même les cris des oiseaux. Le monde est dans votre coeur alors, sa douleur vous réveille de votre rêve et vous découvrez que la terre même où vous avez voulu créer votre royaume vous expulse et vous jette à la mer.

Notre siècle n'est plus un siècle à trésors. C'est un siècle de consumation et de fuite, un temps de fièvre et d'oubli.

My message will be very clear; it is that I think we have to continue to read novels. Because I think that the novel is a very good means to question the current world without having an answer that is too schematic, too automatic. The novelist, he’s not a philosopher, not a technician of spoken language. He’s someone who writes, above all, and through the novel asks questions.
J.M.G. Le ClézioIt is, I believe, the primary charm of poetry to give the lesson of mirage, that is, to show the fragile and vibrant movement of creation, in which the word is in a certain way human quintessence, prayer.
J.M.G. Le ClézioFrom that imbalance rose the tragic results of the coming together of two worlds. It was the extermination of an ancient dream by the frenzy of a modern one, the destruction of myths by a desire for power. It was gold, modern weapons, and rational thought pitted against magic and gods: the outcome could not have been otherwise.

In their purest form myths, not unlike tragedy, are perhaps the most important moment in the troubled history of Mexican civilization. The cement of dreams, the architecture of language, made of images and rhythms which respond to and harmonize with each other through time and space, their wisdom is not of that which can be measured on the scale of the everyday. They are concurrently religion, ritual, belief, phantasmagoria, and the primary affirmation of a human coherence, the coagulating strength of language against the anguish of death and the certainty of nothingness. Myths express life, despite the promise of destruction, of the weight of the inevitable. They are without any doubt the most durable monuments of men, in America as in the ancient world.
J.M.G. Le ClézioAbruptly, with the shock of the Conquest, the sober and puritanical man of the Christian Inquisition encountered, through their violent and upsetting nature, peoples who through their rituals were identified with the gods.
