Quotes by C茅dric Villani (?)

“Once again I had to put myself in a vulnerable position in order to become stronger.”

“I woke up with a start, a little after 5:30 in the morning, to that wonderful feeling that lasts only a fraction of a second, when you don鈥檛 know where you are鈥攏ot even what continent you鈥檙e on! I jumped up from the futon and went over to my computer to make a note of the few fragments of the dream I could still hold on to before they completely melted away in the mind鈥檚 morning fog. The complexity and the confusion of the adventure put me in a good mood: I take such dreams as a sign that my brain is in good working order.”
