Jaques was only what he was; but from a distance.... : Quote by Simone de Beauvoir

“ Jaques was only what he was; but from a distance he became something more, became everything to me, everything I did not possess. It was to him I owed pains and pleasures whose violence alone saved me from the deserts of boredom in which I found myself bogged down. ”
