A mother ... A particular being, who is linked to us by a singular, unique thread.
It cannot be compared with any other.
Mother's Day, which we are celebrating today, is an opportunity (is it necessary?) To pay homage to them.
Noodle necklaces, poems or beautiful jewelry, tradition dictates that we offer the queens of the day a present, small or large.
Everyone loves their mom right?
The authors are not left out.
Balzac, Beauvoir, Bernanos, Cohen, Brassens ... They sang about their mother, and paid tribute to her with their words.
Let us think of this touching sentence from Alexandre Dumas fils, who wrote:
"However young you are, the day you lose your mother, you suddenly become old."
The natural son of his father, brought up by his mother, sent to boarding school at the age of seven, it is easy to imagine the affection he had for him.
We also have this compelling quote from Pagnol, in
Caesar
:
"What am I going to think of other women, now that I know my mother can lie!"
.
It is a testament to the unfailing admiration that we can feel towards them, and the cruel feeling felt when they disappoint us.
Maurice Barrès, Sophocle, Victor Hugo ... Will you go to the end of this test on literary quotes which pay homage to mothers?
