“Like fifty million other losers, Anthony was caught up in the game, his misfortune temporarily at bay, his yearning merging with the great national aspiration. From stock traders to kids in Bobigny to Patrick Bruel and José Bové, everyone was on the same page, and it didn't matter whether you were in Paris or Heillange. From the top to the bottom of the pay scale, from the boonies to La Défense, the country was cheering in unison. Basically, the thing was simple. Just do like they do in America: think your country is the best in the world and revel in that forever.”
Nicolas Mathieu, Leurs enfants après eux

“Steph se rendait compte qu’elle avait eu beaucoup de chance jusqu’à présent. Elle était née au bon endroit, à une période plutôt clémente de l’histoire du monde. De toute sa vie, elle n’avait eu à craindre ni la faim ni le froid, pas la moindre violence. Elle avait fait partie des groupes souhaitables (famille bien lotie, potes à la coule, élèves sans difficultés majeures, meufs assez bonasses) et les jours s’étaient succédé avec leur lot de servitudes minimes et de plaisirs réitérés. Aussi avait-elle toujours envisagé l’avenir avec une sorte de bonhomme indifférence. Et voilà qu’une fois à découvert, loin d’Heillange, elle se retrouvait totalement inapte, impréparée, avec pour tout bagage quelques idées naïves venues de l’école primaire, de l’orgueil et la carapace trop fine d’une enfant gâtée.”
Nicolas Mathieu, Leurs enfants après eux

“La colère venait dès le réveil. Il lui suffisait pour se mettre en rogne de penser à ce qui l'attendait, toutes ces tâches à accomplir, tout ce temps qui lui ferait défaut". Incipit, à propos de l'héroïne du roman, Hélène. Connemara”
Nicolas Mathieu, Connemara
