Quotes 

• Anne : I'm the new schoolteacher of Bourkassa.

  Lucien Cordier : That's a fine profession. A vocation, I'd say. Thanks to you, black children will be able to read their daddy's name on French war memorials.

• Lucien Cordier : I can't read the aviator's book. It's too well-written.

  Anne : You like sounding illiterate? You're not. So why?

  Lucien Cordier : Habit. Grammar gets rusty like everything else if you don't use it. And in Africa the same goes for good and evil. What's good? What's evil? Nobody knows. It's not much use here. So it gets rusty too. Must be the climate.
