A sick thought can devour the body's flesh more than fever or consumption.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
To avoid each other, their eyes had developed an amazing mobility with all the cunning of enemies fearful of meeting each other head on.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
I know nothing more enjoyable than that happy-go-lucky wandering life, in which you are perfectly free without shackles of any kind, without care, without preoccupation, without thought even of to-morrow. You go in any direction you please, without any guide save your fancy.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
I have coveted everything and taken pleasure in nothing
Guy de Maupassant

We are accustomed to use our eyes only with the memory of what other people before us have thought about the object we are looking at.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
We breathe, sleep, drink, eat, work and then die! The end of life is death. What do you long for? Love? A few kisses and you will be powerless. Money? What for? To gratify your desires. Glory? What coems after it all? Death! Death alone is certain.

Guy de Maupassant
Image
Night was a very different matter. It was dense, thicker than the very walls, and it was empty, so black, so immense that within it you could brush against appalling things and feel roaming and prowling around a strange, mysterious horror.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
A man forced to spend his life without ever having the right, without ever finding the time, to shut himself up all alone, no matter where, to think, to reflect, to work, to dream? Ah! my dear boy, a key, the key of a door which one can lock this is happiness, mark you, the only happiness!
Guy de Maupassant
Image
Travel, like dreams, is a door that opens from the real world into a world that is yet to be discovered
Guy de Maupassant
Image
Champagne... the wine of kings, the king of wines
Guy de Maupassant
Image
We live always under the weight of the old and odious customs... of our barbarous ancestors.
Guy de Maupassant
Image
Anguish of suspense made men even desire the arrival of enemies.
