Emile Zola
In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.
Emile Zola
A god of kindness would be charitable to all. Your god of wrath and punishment is but a monstrous phantasy.
Emile Zola
Over all crowds there seems to float a vague distress, an atmosphere of pervasive melancholy, as if any large gathering of people creates an aura of terror and pity.
Emile Zola
Everything is only a dream.
Emile Zola
They talked so, with secret hearts, without needing words, talking of other things... They could have suddenly continued their confessions aloud, without ceasing to understand each other.
Emile Zola
Every wave is a water sprite who swims in the current, each current is a path which snakes towards my palace, and my palace is fluidly built at the bottom of the lake, in the triangle of earth, fire and water.
Emile Zola
