What do you want to be? A diplomat. Do you have a large fortune? No. Are you related to anyone famous? No. Then forget about diplomacy. Then what can I become? An enquiring mind. That’s not a career. Not yet. Travel, write, translate. Learn to live anywhere, beginning now. — Henri-Pierre Roché, Jules and Jim. Photo Hedi Slimane

Many, many men have been as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal relationship. It isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry. — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye. Photo Jeff Petry
