A Quote by J. G. Ballard

Au revoir, jewelled alligators and white hotels, hallucinatory forests, farewell. — © J. G. Ballard
Au revoir, jewelled alligators and white hotels, hallucinatory forests, farewell.
I never say goodbye, I say, “au-revoir.” Goodbye is so final. Au-revoir means I will see you again.
I really like Au Revoir Simone.
Au revoir, pidgeon. Sweeting is such part sorrow.
If I told my wife I was going to become a manager she'd say 'sign this then. Don't worry it's only a divorce. Au revoir'.
Oh, and by the way, I'm gonna beat you tonight, and I'm gonna enjoy every second of it. Au revoir!
Never say "Au revoir" unless you have been talking French, or are speaking to a French person.
The beauty of Maine is such that you can't really see it clearly while you live there. But now that I've moved away, with each return it all becomes almost hallucinatory: the dark blue water, the rocky coast with occasional flashes of white sand, the jasper stone beaches along the coast, the pine and fir forests somehow vivid in their stillness.
Down in Louisiana where the alligators grow so mean, there lived a girl that I swear to the world made the alligators look tame.
Feed the alligators and you get bigger alligators.
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troops, and the big wars That make ambition virtue.
Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those. The bursting tears my heart declare; Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr.
All the pictures on the walls, they all white as lilies and smiling like alligators.
Farewell all relations and friends in Christ; farewell acquaintances and all earthly enjoyments; farewell reading and preaching, praying and believing, wanderings, reproaches, and sufferings.
It is no longer possible to escape men. Farewell to the monsters, farewell to the saints. Farewell to pride. All that is left is men.
Farewell the plumed troop, and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, th' ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
In the year 2007, seals, otters, lions, turtles, frogs, apes, snakes, butterflies, polar bears, cheetahs, whales are disappearing along with their variously furnished homes: cloud forests, rain forests, ice pack, boreal forests, coral reefs, forests of deciduous trees, conifer and palm.
