III. My Curriculum Vitae

"...le choix de l'homme n'est pas entre ce qu'il croit le Bien ou le Mal -- ce serait simple et définitif -- mais entre le Bien et un autre Bien, entre deux valeurs essentielles qui tout à coup, par une sinistre facétie du destin, se trouvent en contradiction. Il faut choisir. Et en choisissant un Bien on renie l'autre..."
Pierre Schoendoerffer
