"Les Souvenirs d’enfance n’ont pas la prétention de former un récit complet et suivi. Ce sont, presque sans ordre, les images qui me sont apparues et les réflexions qui me sont venues à l’esprit, pendant que j’évoquais ainsi un passé vieux de cinquante ans. "

" L’ordre naturel de ce livre, qui n’est autre que l’ordre même des périodes diverses de ma vie, amène une sorte de contraste entre les récits de Bretagne et ceux du séminaire, ces derniers étant tout entiers remplis par une lutte sombre, pleine de raisonnements et d’âpre scolastique, tandis que les souvenirs de mes premières années ne présentent guère que des impressions de sensibilité enfantine, de candeur, d’innocence et d’amour.
