Guy De Maupassant Quotes

Envy, bitter envy, was permeating his soul drop by drop, like a poison that tainted all his pleasures and made his life hateful Picture Quote #1

Yes, this is the only good thing in life: love! To hold a woman you love in your arms! That is the ultimate in human happiness Picture Quote #1

It was one of those feminine faces whose every line has its own particular charm, and seems to possess a meaning, whose every movement seems to reveal or to conceal something Picture Quote #1

Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare Picture Quote #1

You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who have fought for it, life has a flavor the protected shall never know Picture Quote #1

I had kissed her at odd times, in out of the way corners, in the manner of a mountain guide, nothing more Picture Quote #1

To avoid each other, their eyes had developed an amazing mobility with all the cunning of enemies fearful of meeting each other head on Picture Quote #1

If I could, I would stop the passage of time. But hour follows on hour, minute on minute, each second robbing me of a morsel of myself for the nothing of tomorrow. I shall never experience this moment again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space Picture Quote #1

I hope you realize that you really hit it off with the ladies? You must cultivate that. It could take you far Picture Quote #1

But he asked himself now if he would not be disobeying God. And does not God permit love, since He surrounds it with such visible splendor? Picture Quote #1

One sometimes weeps over one’s illusions with as much bitterness as over a death Picture Quote #1

Life is a slope. As long as you’re going up you’re always looking towards the top and you feel happy, but when you reach it, suddenly you can see the road going downhill and death at the end of it all. It’s slow going up and quick going down Picture Quote #1

Breathing, sleeping, drinking, eating, working, dreaming, everything we do is dying. to live, in fact, is to die Picture Quote #1

The secret is not to betray your ignorance. Just maneuver, avoid the quicksands and obstacles, and the rest can be found in a dictionary Picture Quote #1

She was a sweet girl but not really pretty, a rough sketch of a woman with a little of everything in her, one of those silhouettes which artists draw in three strokes on the tablecloth in a café after dinner, between a glass of brandy and a cigarette. Nature sometimes turns out creatures like that Picture Quote #1

She realized for the first time that two people can never reach each others deepest feelings and instincts, that they spend their lives side by side, linked it may be, but not mingled, and that each one’s inmost being must go through life eternally alone Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A strange art - music - the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and precise as algebra Picture Quote #1

We breathe love as we breathe air; we hold it in ourselves as we hold our thoughts. Nothing more exists for us Picture Quote #1

The kiss itself is immortal. It travels from lip to lip, century to century, from age to age. Men and women garner these kisses, offer them to others and then die in turn Picture Quote #1
