Ces mots qui nourrissent et qui apaisent: phrases et textes relevés au cours de mes lectures

By Charles Juliet. 2008

Writing
Human-transcribed braille

"J'ai dévoré bien des livres, vécu grâce à eux d'inoubliables instants. Ils me transportaient, m'exaltaient, me laissaient anéanti, ne cessaient…

de me triturer, m'aidaient à me connaître, à m'ouvrir mon chemin... Par la suite et au long des années, ils ont eu à combler ma faim, une faim qui réapparaissait aussitôt qu'assouvie. Toutefois, après les avoir ingérés, comment me séparer d'eux alors qu'ils avaient eu pour moi une telle importance ? Il fallait absolument que j'en garde quelques bribes. D'où ma manie de prélever ces mots, ces phrases qui m'avaient dévasté, embrasé, poussé à aller plus avant. Manie d'autodidacte qui s'acharne à creuser toujours plus profond, qui tient à ne rien perdre de ce qu'il a acquis, qui veut pouvoir mâcher encore et encore ces mots où puiser force, lumière, énergie. Les phrases et textes rassemblés dans ce volume sont tirés des carnets où se trouve thésaurisée cette nourriture qu'aiment à consommer ceux qui se cherchent, cherchent un sens à la vie". -- 4e de couv.
