## Quotes about

* […] of all those with an interest in our success, nobody acquitted himself with more consequence, goodwill and intelligence, and to greater effect, than Count Capo d’Istria. I met him 92 times and always found him true to himself, a most excellent guide, a most excellent adviser, and tirelessly patient, though what was happening in Switzerland frequently gave him just cause to give up in disgust. And the far more consequential negotiations over Poland and Saxony, which had been largely entrusted to him, could have given him an excuse to be indifferent to the interests of little Geneva.
** Charles Pictet de Rochemont's report to the Geneva parliament at the end of his mission (April 1815)
** Cramer Lucien, Correspondance diplomatique de Pictet de Rochemont et de François d’Ivernois, Paris, Vienne, Turine 1814-1816, 2 vol. Genève-Paris 1914, I, XXIII
* […] Capodistrias's conduct in Switzerland has always done him proud. At first, the mission with which he was entrusted earned him the hostility of various parties whose interests he was jeopardising. Little by little his noble qualities were recognised, and today the Swiss unanimously mourn his loss; his name is also venerated by men of all persuasions.
** Elie-Ami Betant, secretary of Capodistrias
** Betant Elie-Ami, Correspondant du comte Capodistrias, Président de la Grèce, Genève-Paris, 1839, vol.I, p.25

* Greece since the 4th of August became an anticommunist State, an antiparliamentary State, a totalitarian State. A State based on its peasants and workers, and so antiplutocratic. There is not, of course, a particular party to govern. This party is all the People, except of the incorrigible communists and the reactionary politicians of the old parties.
** Metaxas about his dictatorial regime, in his personal diary.
* "...Greece, which has the highest estimation of the renowned leader, heroic soldier, and enlightened creator of Turkey.

# Inès de la Fressange

Inès Marie Lætitia Églantine Isabelle de Seignard de la Fressange (C.E.1957 – living), French model and fashion designer.
[At 50, an hour of sex is better than botox]
* There is a time for everything, at 22 years old you want the handsome, funny, feisty man; to 25 the one who loves books and talks about politics; to 30 choose the father of your children. At 50 you accept that you are not always the winner, at this age you know your defects and your weaknesses; you accept yourself and you also accept the other: you are a bit of a geisha, a bit of an Amazon.
* happiness is made up of lights and shadows, it is patchy.
* It is difficult to be strong in those moments [at the death of a loved one]: and when you can't take it anymore, those who love you intervene. On the other hand, it is not even a good example for children to always prove themselves strong. How do you explain to him that you loved someone so much, then he disappears and you are still toned and cheerful? It would have been uneducational and false. I dressed in black, I couldn't bear to see myself in other colors: I would never have imagined it before but at that moment it was like that. Society doesn't allow you to be sad, everyone tells you: "Come on, let's go out".
* Better an hour of sleep or spent making love than Botox. Wrinkles are better than cat eyes. You have to accept getting old, the important thing is to be able to desire, at any age you can be willing to change.
* It makes me laugh when I see people chasing nonsense, worrying about a delay or things that, seen five years later, seem like nothing. And to women who think that a designer shoe or piece of jewelery is important, I say: most people don't pay attention to these things. Dress not for your friends but for your own satisfaction: wear what makes you feel good.

## Quotes about Inès de la Fressange:

## Quotes

* For two millenia, that same Church has proclaimed what it considers to be a fundamental truth: that God himself chose to take on our human nature to free us from sin, to give us hope in the face of death and human mortality. In that vein, it is worth keeping in mind that an institution living through one of its most challenging periods in recent history has had some blessings to count lately, small yet bright rays peeking through the dark cloud that has been the year 2020.
