""Hell wasn't a major reservoir of evil, any more than Heaven, in Crowley’s opinion, was a fountain of goodness; they were just sides in the great cosmic chess game. Where you found the real McCoy, the real grace and the real heart-stopping evil, was right inside the human mind." – Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman

Voyez-vous ce point? C'est la terre.
Toutes nos vies, tous nos décès,
Toutes nos amitiés et nos guerres
Existent ici, sur ce grain de poussière.
Les étoiles toujours nous sourient
Comme grand-pères sages, qui attendent
Le jour où nous apprenons
Que c'est tout ce que nous avons.

[English translation]
See this point? This is Earth.
All our lives, our deaths,
All our friendships and our wars
Exist here, on this speck of dust.
The stars always smile at us
Like wise grandfathers, who await
The day we learn
That this is all we have.

Merci de lire et de commenter. Vous êtes gentil! 

J'ai toujours aimé la forme de la langue française, mais j'ai pris ma première classe français l'année dernière (au lycée). Après ça, mon prof m'a recommandé de passer directement vers le Français III. C'est triste qu'il n'y a pas de classes français à mon université :(
