DE STAEL Nicolas
(1914-1955)
"Penser ou ne pas penser. Se tranquilliser sur les images habituelles, traditionnelles de la pensée ou mettre devant notre conscience la question du sens de la vie de lâhomme sur terre. Il faut choisir entre ces deux voies: la première est plus calme, peut-être plus vraie, la seconde est plus attirante"
