Irène Némirovsky said this quote

“ For there comes a time in life when the pity previously reserved only for children takes on a different form, a time when we study the faces of 'old people' and sense that one day we will be just like them. And that is the moment when early childhood comes to an end. ”

Waiting is erotic

~ Irène Némirovsky

Deep within everyone's heart there always remains a sense of longing for that hour, that summer, that one brief moment of blossoming. For several weeks or months, rarely longer, a beautiful young woman lives outside ordinary life. She is intoxicated. She feels as if she exists beyond time, beyond its laws; she experiences not the monotonous succession of days passing by, but moments of intense, almost desperate happiness.

~ Irène Némirovsky

Heureux sont ceux qui peuvent aimer et haïr sans feinte, sans détour, sans nuance.

~ Irène Némirovsky

...because all happiness is contagious, and disarms the spirit of hatred.

~ Irène Némirovsky
