More quotes by Emile Zola
If something's just, I'll let myself be hacked to bits for it.
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
A god of kindness would be charitable to all. Your god of wrath and punishment is but a monstrous phantasy.
Emile Zola
Art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament.
Emile Zola
She might have liked to try to strangle him with those slender fingers of hers, but she wanted to make a job of it and this great patience with which she waited for her claws to grow was in itself a form of enjoyment.
Emile Zola
When lovers kiss on the cheeks, it is because they are searching, feeling for one another's lips. Lovers are made by a kiss.
Emile Zola
Art for me...is a negation of society, an affirmation of the individual, outside of all the rules and all the demands of society.
Emile Zola
If people can just love each other a little bit, they can be so happy.
Emile Zola
They dared not peer down into their own natures, down into the feverish confusion that filled their minds with a kind of dense, acrid mist.
Emile Zola
The vague torment of ... ambition.
Emile Zola
I am an artist... I am here to live out loud.
Emile Zola
I would rather die of passion than of boredom.
Emile Zola
The past was but the cemetery of our illusions: one simply stubbed one's toes on the gravestones.
Emile Zola
Did not one spend the first half of one's days in dreams of happiness and the second half in regrets and terrors?
Emile Zola
Did science promise happiness? I do not believe it. It promised truth, and the question is to know if we will ever make happiness with truth.
Emile Zola
The word realist means nothing to me, because I would subordinate reality to temperament. Give me what is true and I applaud but give me what is individual and alive and I applaud even more.
Emile Zola
Nothing develops intelligence like travel.
Emile Zola
I do not despair in the least of ultimate triumph. I repeat it with intense conviction.
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
The camembert with its venison scent defeats the Marolles and Limbourg dull smells It spreads its exhalation, smothering the other scents under its surprising breath abundance.
Emile Zola
