Summary
Best enjoyed thumbed through while lying on your couch, riding your bike, flying a plane or treading the moon, Grégoire’s Euphorisms is a unique collection of maxims, deep or trivial, blending black comedy and dazzling paradoxes.
What other book can lift its reader up to heights of laughter, before plunging him into meditative abysses? What other scribe masters insolence and malice so well that an austere mind will catch himself pulling his own leg? Who else knows how to capture the universe in a pinhead without for all that shortening infinity?
Cheerful, impertinent, hilarious: Grégoire’s Euphorisms is truly one of a kind. A must-read.
A Euphorism can be…
Metaphysical
Seen in profile, a cross loses much of its interest.
Provoking
I generally am in favour of letting things go; for that matter, I always have a finger on the trigger.
Ironic
When there is nothing left to say, we shall talk about communication.
Amoral
Bending one’s elbow is the best way not to hang one’s head.
Cautious
Do not dive headlong where the legless cripple can touch bottom.
Absurd
You can’t make head nor tail of a beheaded eunuch.
… but it is also – and essentially…
Promising
You don't die of a dream overdose.
