Henry de Montherlant

Henry de Montherlant (1895-1972) or ‘Henry Marie Joseph Frédéric Expedite Millon de Montherlant’ to give him his full given name: 

“Happiness writes in white ink on white paper”

Note: Although we in the UK tend to think of ‘Marie’ as a female name, French sons often have had ‘Marie’ inserted into their full names by Roman Catholic parents.

More quotes from Montherlant and others to follow when I can find them…
