"When we show a friend a city one has already visited, we feel the same pride as when we point out a woman whose lover we have been."
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo,novel
I believe that is a singularly French sentiment, and it rings true. The next one is just beautiful:
"...The house, awakened from its long sleep, like the sleeping beauty of the wood, lived, sang, and bloomed like the houses we have long cherished, and in which, when we are forced to leave them, we leave part of our souls."
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, novel
