| Quotation | An understanding of why I am so taken with Romain Rolland, why he speaks to me with such warmth of conviction: a chance phrase. "Tout m'est ferme en France; et je n'ai pas où aller [All is closed to me in France, and I have nowhere to go]" (Inde, p. 282). That is the condition for penetrating everywhere-but to a few. |
