Nice piece in the NY Times.
“France epitomizes what religious fanatics hate: the enjoyment of life here on earth, a multitude of ways: a cup of coffee that smells, accompanied by a growing one morning; beautiful women in short dresses smiling freely in the streets; the smell of warm bread; a shared bottle of wine with friends, a few drops of perfume, children playing in the Luxembourg gardens, the right not to believe in God, do not worry about calories, flirting and smoking, and to the love outside marriage, taking a vacation, read any book, to go to school for free, to play, to laugh, to discuss, to make fun of the prelates as men and women politicians to put the anxieties later: after death. No country benefits both to life on earth than France. Paris, we love you. We weep for you. You are grieving tonight, and we are with you. We know you will laugh again and sing again, you’ll make love, and that you will be cured, because to love life is part of what you are. The forces of evil will decline. They will lose. She always lose. “
