"Nous avons tous rêvé un jour de porter notre regard par-delà ce mur invisible et pourtant si réel de l'impossible. Dans nos rêves, nous avons eu la sensation de trouver la faille, l'infime fracture par où nous allions glisser dans la béatitude. Tout cela n'était qu'illusion, nous n'avions pas eu la révélation.
