“What have I eaten? Lies and smiles.”

““The first way lies in the individualism of the market. The second way lies in the hierarchies of the state. A Third Way can be found in the mutualism of network organisations. It is the coming way.””

“So my last image was as the first. A sleeping youth cloaked in light, who opened his eyes with a smile of recognition for someone who had never been a stranger.”

“Léonie, you will do well to consider. You are not the first woman in my life."

She smiled through her tears. "Monseigneur, I would so much rather be the last woman than the first,” she said.”

“You are always new. The last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest.”

“Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.”

“I tiger can smile
A snake will say it loves you
Lies make us evil”

“The water you touch in a river is the last of that which has passed, and the first of that which is coming. Thus it is with time present.”

“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.”
