« I have tried to rediscover my sources. The riches that I list, I owe them to a few people of great value, to events also... In such events, Blaise Pascal saw 'masters that God gives us from his own hands'. I permit myself to enlarge his expression to include those who taught me to think, and to follow Christ. » Thomas Aquinas, Lacordaire, Péguy, Bernanos, but also Montaigne, Oscar Wilde, Jules Verne, and Rilke were the secret companions of a whole life placed in the gaze of God."
