“Pendant l'insomnie, je me dis, en guise de consolation, que ces heures dont je prend conscience, je les arrache au néant, et que si je les dormais, elles ne m'auraient jamais appartenu, elles n'auraient jamais existé.”
"During insomnia, I tell myself, as a consolation, that these hours of which I am aware, I snatch them from nothingness, and that if I slept through them, they would never have belonged to me, they would never have existed."
