ELEGANCE OF THE HEDGEHOG

I read this book "Elegance of the hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery and I found it very very interesting.
There are a lot of quotes but I remember one:
" Madame Michel has the elegance of the hedgehog: the outside is protected by quills, a real fortress, but I suspect that inside she is simple and refined as the rich, indolent mock animals, resolutely lonely and terribly elegant."

I think humanity has this Elegance, but sometimes it's hidden from our stupidity.
