"L'envie de détruire est aussi une envie créatrice"

Emile Zola

Simplified Meaning:

When people feel the need to break something down or get rid of it, that action can actually lead to new ideas and opportunities. For example, think about an old, crumbling building. If you demolish it, you can clear the space and build something new and better, like a park or a modern apartment block. In history, we can look at the Industrial Revolution, where old ways of working were completely changed, leading to new inventions and technologies that improved life for many. So, sometimes breaking things down can be the first step to creating something great. If you apply this to your own life, it means not being afraid to let go of old habits or things that aren't working for you. By doing so, you open up the chance for positive changes and new growth.
