Here’s a great quote from Anaïs Nin:
Nous ne voyons pas les choses comme ils sont. Nous les verrons comme nous sommes.
Or, in English:
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
currently: at work, avoiding a large box of donuts and a larger box of bagels and four schmears

what a very interesting and thoughtful quote.
and go for the bagels without the schmears and no donuts! at least… that’s what i’d do. i already ate my cinnamon and raisin bagel for today. 😀

Re: j’aime!
I liked it too. I saw it on a coworker’s quote-of-the-day calendar and looked it up online to find it in French. 😀
