💬 From my current read, Pere Goriot:
“My life, my own life, is all in my daughters. I don’t feel cold if they are warm. I never feel sad if they are laughing. My only sorrows are theirs. When you become a father and say to yourself, as you hear your children babbling: “Thats my doing!”, when you feel these little creatures attached to you by every drop of your blood (for they were its finest flower, and thats the truth!) you will think that their skin is an inseparable part of you, your body will seem to respond to their movements. There voice speaks to me wherever I am.”
Beautiful so far.
