刺蝟的優雅 (The Elegance of the Hedgehog)

Madame Michel has the elegance of the hedgehog: on the outside, she’s covered in quills, a real fortress, but my gut feeling is that on the inside, she has the same simple refinement as the hedgehog: a deceptively indolent little creature, fiercely solitary — and terribly elegant. Muriel Barbery, “L’eleganza del riccio”, Roma, Edizioni e/o, 2007, p. 137.
