Quotes
-
What was always disconcerting with Nyssen, was his ability to bring together a diverse group of people without ever placing himself at the center, as an invisible gravitational force that lends movement and grace to other bodies. All his conversations had in common the same character: he was a mere witness.

Trivia
- His daughter Françoise Nyssen succeeded him at Actes Sud and served as French Minister of Culture from 2017 to 2018.
