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…
