"The sofa is sacred, and it is the greatest invention of all time.
Yes, because before the sofa entered our lives, from the 18th century onward, there was no excuse to refuse to work and start relaxing. Also because the bed, with good grace to Proust who used it as an office, is made for sleeping."

"The sofa, on the other hand, is the earthly manifestation of the metaphysical idea of relaxation.
And it is no coincidence that it is actually called a couch, because of the divine pleasure involved in reclining on its soft cushions. That "a" in place of the "i" should not make one hesitate: the first man who sat on a sofa, associating this object with the divine, voiced his enlightenment. At the moment of uttering the "i" he yawned induced by an ecstasy he had never felt before."
