Gaston Gallimard (1881-1975), fondateur des Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue française avec André Gide et Jean Schlumberger, confia un jour à Jean Cau qu'il n'écrirait jamais ses mémoires d'éditeur, craignant de ruiner sa maison en disant tout ce qu'il y avait vu et tout ce qu'il savait des mœurs et pratiques de la vie littéraire. Il ne les écrivit pas et, pour finir, se confia peu.

Since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors, then forced to descend into the "mouth of hell" of 18th-century silver mines or, later, made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos.

"Qu'est-ce que je serais heureux si j'étais heureux !" Cette formule de Woody Allen dit peut-être l'essentiel : que nous sommes séparés du bonheur par l'espérance même qui le poursuit. La sagesse serait au contraire de vivre pour de bon, au lieu d'espérer vivre. C'est où l'on rencontre les leçons d'Epicure, des stoïciens, de Spinoza, ou, en Orient, du Bouddha. Nous n'aurons de bonheur qu'à proportion du désespoir que nous serons capables de traverser.
