    Quotations

    • "To contemplate a Nebulous or a Galaxy, it is nevertheless formidable stimulating for the imaginary one! It appeared very natural to me that one of my characters is connected to the infinitely great… However, I have the impression that one is rather little on this planet to include/understand the situation of the Earth in the universe. The ignorance or the lack of interest of people on this subject always has me surpris."
    • "For me, which comes besides cannot be worse than we are. It would be too easy. Rather than to start a war of the worlds, I think that a meets with extraterrestrial would return to us better. Thus I wish it! "
