History, that excitable and unreliable old lady.
Guy de Maupassant
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
You have the army of mediocrities followed by the multitude of fools. As the mediocrities and the fools always form the immense majority, it is impossible for them to elect an intelligent government.
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
In the East men know panic, but they do not know what fright is.
Guy de Maupassant
Anguish of suspense made men even desire the arrival of enemies.
Guy de Maupassant
We live always under the weight of the old and odious customs... of our barbarous ancestors.
Guy de Maupassant
Every government has as much of a duty to avoid war as a ship's captain has to avoid a shipwreck.
Guy de Maupassant
