'A man lives two existences. Until the age of 45 he absorbs the elements srrounding him. Then, all of a sudden, it's over; he doesn't absorb anything more. Thereafter he lives the duplicate of his first existence, and tries to tally the succeeding days with the rhythms and odours of his earlier active life.' (Pierre Mac Orlan)
