Muhammad Dib (French language Algerian writer) died May 03.
As a conclusion of the last interview he gave on Feb. 21 to " Le Monde des Livres", he quoted these verses: "Si ton chant n'est pas plus beau que le silence, alors tais-toi" :...'if your song is not as beautiful as silence, stay silent".

That's a beautiful quote. Maybe in five years, when I'll be able to understand real french I can try to read him. Now I'm still at the stage of "Qu'est-ce que tu fais dans la vie? Je suis mcanicien."
