Talking behind the back of others is the fan of the Couer.
The quote "Talking behind the back of others is the fan of the Couer" from Marjane Satrapi's book "Embroideries" suggests that gossip can serve as a form of entertainment or distraction for people. It highlights a facet of human behavior where individuals engage in conversations about others when they are not present, often fueling social dynamics within a community.
This behavior can reflect deeper issues of trust and relationships, as it indicates a willingness to discuss and judge others without their knowledge. By framing gossip as a 'fan of the Couer,' the author emphasizes that such discussions can provide a temporary relief or amusement, yet they also raise questions about respect and integrity in communication.
