It has never occurred to me to speak with elegant animals: I am not curious about the opinion of wasps or of racing mares. Let them settle matters while flying, let them win decorations while running! I want to speak with flies, with the bitch that has recently littered, and to converse with snakes. I want to speak with many things and I will not leave this planet without knowing what I came to find, without solving this affair, and people are not enough. I have to go much farther and I have to go much closer.
