+THE INK STAIN, By Rene Bazin
+
+
+
+All that a name is to a street—
+its honor, its spouse
+
+Came not in single spies, but in
+battalions
+
+Distrust first impulse
+
+Felix culpa
+
+Happy men don't need company
+
+Hard that one can not live one's life
+over twice
+
+He always loved to pass for being
+overwhelmed with work
+
+I don't call that fishing
+
+If trouble awaits us, hope will  steal
+us a happy hour or two
+
+Lends—I should say gives
+
+Men forget sooner
+
+Natural only when alone, and talk well
+only to themselves
+
+Obstacles are the salt of all our joys
+
+One doesn't offer apologies to a man in
+his wrath
+
+People meeting to "have it out" usually
+say nothing at first
+
+Silence, alas! is not the reproof of
+kings alone
+
+Skilful actor, who apes all the
+emotions while feeling none
+
+Sorrows shrink into insignificance as
+the horizon broadens
+
+Surprise goes for so much in what we
+admire
+
+The very smell of books is improving
+
+The looks of the young are always full
+of the future
+
+There are some blunders that are lucky;
+but you can't tell
+
+To be your own guide doubles your
+pleasure
+
+You a law student, while our farmers
+are in want of hands
+
+You must always first get the tobacco
+to burn evenly
+
+You ask Life for certainties, as if she
+had any to give you
+
+
+
+
+JACQUELINE, By Therese Bentzon (Mme. Blanc)
+
+
+
+A familiarity which, had he known it,
+was not flattering
+
+A mother's geese are always swans
+
+As we grow older we lay aside harsh
+judgments and sharp words
+
+Bathers, who exhibited themselves in
+all degrees of ugliness
+
+Blow which annihilates our supreme
+illusion
+
+Death is not that last sleep
+
+Fool (there is no cure for that
+infirmity)
+
+Fred's verses were not good, but they
+were full of dejection
+
+Great interval between a dream and its
+execution
+
+Hang out the bush, but keep no tavern
+
+His sleeplessness was not the insomnia
+of genius
+
+Importance in this world are as easily
+swept away as the sand
+
+Music—so often dangerous to married
+happiness
+
+Natural longing, that we all have,
+to know the worst
+
+Notion of her husband's having an
+opinion of his own
+
+Old women—at least thirty years old!
+
+Pride supplies some sufferers with
+necessary courage
+
+Seemed to enjoy themselves, or made
+believe they did
+
+Seldom troubled himself to please any
+one he did not care for
+
+Small women ought not to grow stout
+
+Sympathetic listening, never having
+herself anything to say
+
+The bandage love ties over the eyes
+of men
+
+The worst husband is always better
+than none
+
+This unending warfare we call love
+
+Unwilling to leave him to the repose
+he needed
+
+Waste all that upon a thing that nobody
+will ever look at
+
+Women who are thirty-five should never
+weep
+
+
+
+
+GERFAUT, By Charles de Bernard
+
+
+
+Antipathy for her husband bordering
+upon aversion
+
+Attractions that difficulties give
+to pleasure
+
+Attractive abyss of drunkenness
+
+Consented to become a wife so as not
+to remain a maiden
+
+Despotic tone which a woman assumes
+when sure of her empire
+
+Evident that the man was above his
+costume; a rare thing!
+
+I believed it all; one is so happy to
+believe!
+
+It is a terrible step for a woman to
+take, from No to Yes
+
+Lady who requires urging, although she
+is dying to sing
+
+Let them laugh that win!
+
+Let ultra-modesty destroy poetry
+
+Love is a fire whose heat dies out for
+want of fuel
+
+Mania for fearing that she may be
+compromised
+
+Material in you to make one of Cooper's
+redskins
+
+Misfortunes never come single
+
+No woman is unattainable, except when
+she loves another
+
+Obstinacy of drunkenness
+
+Recourse to concessions is often as
+fatal to women as to kings
+
+Regards his happiness as a proof of
+superiority
+
+She said yes, so as not to say no
+
+These are things that one admits only
+to himself
+
+Those whom they most amuse are those
+who are best worth amusing
+
+Topics that occupy people who meet for
+the first time
+
+Trying to conceal by a smile (a blush)
+
+When one speaks of the devil he appears
+
+Wiped his nose behind his hat, like a
+well-bred orator
+
+You are playing 'who loses wins!'
+
+
+
+
+
+COSMOPOLIS, By Paul Bourget
+
+
+
+Conditions of blindness so voluntary
+that they become complicity
+
+Despotism natural to puissant
+personalities
+
+Egyptian tobacco, mixed with opium and
+saltpetre
+
+Follow their thoughts instead of
+heeding objects
+
+Has as much sense as the handle of a
+basket
+
+Have never known in the morning what I
+would do in the evening
+
+I no longer love you
+
+Imagine what it would be never to have
+been born
+
+Mediocre sensibility
+
+Melancholy problem of the birth and
+death of love
+
+Mobile and complaisant conscience had
+already forgiven himself
+
+No flies enter a closed mouth
+
+Not an excuse, but an explanation of
+your conduct
+
+One of those trustful men who did not
+judge when they loved
+
+Only one thing infamous in love, and
+that is a falsehood
+
+Pitiful checker-board of life
+
+Scarcely a shade of gentle
+condescension
+
+Sufficed him to conceive the plan of a
+reparation
+
+That suffering which curses but does
+not pardon
+
+That you can aid them in leading better
+lives?
+
+The forests have taught man liberty
+
+There is an intelligent man, who never
+questions his ideas
+
+There is always and everywhere a duty
+to fulfil
+
+Thinking it better not to lie on minor
+points
+
+Too prudent to risk or gain much
+
+Walked at the rapid pace characteristic
+of monomaniacs
+
+Words are nothing; it is the tone in
+which they are uttered
+
+
+
+
+PRINCE ZILAH, By Jules Claretie
+
+
+
+A man's life belongs to his duty,
+and not to his happiness
+
+All defeats have their geneses
+
+An hour of rest between two ordeals,
+a smile between two sobs
+
+Anonymous, that velvet mask of
+scandal-mongers
+
+At every step the reality splashes you
+with mud
+
+Bullets are not necessarily on the side
+of the right
+
+Does one ever forget?
+
+Foreigners are more Parisian than the
+Parisians themselves
+
+History is written, not made.
+
+"I might forgive," said Andras; "but I
+could not forget"
+
+If well-informed people are to be
+believe
+
+Insanity is, perhaps, simply the ideal
+realized
+
+It is so good to know nothing, nothing,
+nothing
+
+Let the dead past bury its dead!
+
+Life is a tempest
+
+Man who expects nothing of life except
+its ending
+
+Nervous natures, as prompt to hope as
+to despair
+
+No answer to make to one who has no
+right to question me
+
+Not only his last love, but his only
+love
+
+Nothing ever astonishes me
+
+One of those beings who die, as they
+have lived, children
+
+Pessimism of to-day sneering at his
+confidence of yesterday
+
+Playing checkers, that mimic warfare of
+old men
+
+Poverty brings wrinkles
+
+Sufferer becomes, as it were, enamored
+of his own agony
+
+Superstition which forbids one to
+proclaim his happiness
+
+Taken the times as they are
+
+The Hungarian was created on horseback
+
+There were too many discussions, and
+not enough action
+
+Unable to speak, for each word would
+have been a sob
+
+What matters it how much we suffer
+
+Why should I read the newspapers?
+
+Willingly seek a new sorrow
+
+Would not be astonished at anything
+
+You suffer?  Is fate so just as that
+
+
+
+
+
+A ROMANCE OF YOUTH, By Francois Coppee
+
+
+
+Break in his memory, like a book with
+several leaves torn out
+
+Dreams, instead of living
+
+Egotists and cowards always have a
+reason for everything
+
+Eternally condemned to kill each other
+in order to live
+
+Fortunate enough to keep those one
+loves
+
+God forgive the timid and the prattler!
+
+Good form consists, above all things,
+in keeping silent
+
+Happiness exists only by snatches and
+lasts only a moment
+
+He does not know the miseries of
+ambition and vanity
+
+He almost regretted her
+
+How sad these old memorics are in the
+autumn
+
+Inoffensive tree which never had harmed
+anybody
+
+Intimate friend, whom he has known for
+about five minutes
+
+It was all delightfully terrible!
+
+Learned that one leaves college almost
+ignorant
+
+Mild, unpretentious men who let
+everybody run over them
+
+My good fellow, you are quite worthless
+as a man of pleasure
+
+Never travel when the heart is
+troubled!
+
+Not more honest than necessary
+
+Now his grief was his wife, and lived
+with him
+
+Paint from nature
+
+Poor France of Jeanne d'Arc and of
+Napoleon
+
+Redouble their boasting after each
+defeat
+
+Society people condemned to hypocrisy
+and falsehood
+
+Take their levity for heroism
+
+Tediousness seems to ooze out through
+their bindings
+
+The leaves fall!  the leaves fall!
+
+The sincere age when one thinks aloud
+
+Tired smile of those who have not long
+to live
+
+Trees are like men; there are some that
+have no luck
+
+Universal suffrage, with its accustomed
+intelligence
+
+Upon my word, there are no ugly ones
+(women)
+
+Very young, and was in love with love
+
+Voice of the heart which alone has
+power to reach the heart
+
+Were certain against all reason
+
+When he sings, it is because he has
+something to sing about
+
+
+
+
+FROMONT AND RISLER, By Alphonse Daudet
+
+
+
+A man may forgive, but he never forgets
+
+Abundant details which he sometimes
+volunteered
+
+Affectation of indifference
+
+Always smiling condescendingly
+
+Charm of that one day's rest and its
+solemnity
+
+Clashing knives and forks mark time
+
+Convent of Saint Joseph, four shoes
+under the bed!
+
+Deeming every sort of occupation
+beneath him
+
+Dreams of wealth and the disasters that
+immediately followed
+
+Exaggerated dramatic pantomime
+
+Faces taken by surprise allow their
+real thoughts to be seen
+
+He fixed the time mentally when he
+would speak
+
+Little feathers fluttering for an
+opportunity to fly away
+
+Make for themselves a horizon of the
+neighboring walls and roofs
+
+No one has ever been able to find out
+what her thoughts were
+
+Pass half the day in procuring two
+cakes, worth three sous
+
+She was of those who disdain no
+compliment
+
+Such artificial enjoyment, such idiotic
+laughter
+
+Superiority of the man who does nothing
+over the man who works
+
+Terrible revenge she would take
+hereafter for her sufferings
+
+The poor must pay for all their
+enjoyments
+
+The groom isn't handsome, but the
+bride's as pretty as a picture
+
+Void in her heart, a place made ready
+for disasters to come
+
+Wiping his forehead ostentatiously
+
+Word "sacrifice," so vague on careless
+lips
+
+Would have liked him to be blind only
+so far as he was concerned
+
+
+
+
+CINQ MARS, By Alfred de Vigny
+
+
+
+A cat is a very fine animal.  It is a
+drawing-room tiger
+
+A queen's country is where her throne
+is
+
+Adopted fact is always better composed
+than the real one
+
+Advantage that a calm temper gives one
+over men
+
+All that he said, I had already thought
+
+Always the first word which is the most
+difficult to say
+
+Ambition is the saddest of all hopes
+
+Art is the chosen truth
+
+Artificialities of style of that period
+
+Artistic Truth, more lofty than the
+True
+
+As Homer says, "smiling under tears"
+
+Assume with others the mien they wore
+toward him
+
+But how avenge one's self on silence?
+
+Dare now to be silent when I have told
+you these things
+
+Daylight is detrimental to them
+
+Deny the spirit of self-sacrifice
+
+Difference which I find between Truth
+in art and the True in fac
+
+Doubt, the greatest misery of love
+
+Friendship exists only in independence
+and a kind of equality
+
+Happy is he who does not outlive his
+youth
+
+Hatred of everything which is superior
+to myself
+
+He did not blush to be a man, and he
+spoke to men with force
+
+Hermits can not refrain from inquiring
+what men say of them
+
+History too was a work of art
+
+I have burned all the bridges behind me
+
+In pitying me he forgot himself
+
+In every age we laugh at the costume of
+our fathers
+
+In times like these we must see all and
+say all
+
+It is not now what it used to be
+
+It is too true that virtue also has its
+blush
+
+Lofty ideal of woman and of love
+
+Men are weak, and there are things
+which women must accomplish
+
+Money is not a common thing between
+gentlemen like you and me
+
+Monsieur, I know that I have lived too
+long
+
+Neither idealist nor realist
+
+Never interfered in what did not
+concern him
+
+No writer had more dislike of mere
+pedantry
+
+Offices will end by rendering great
+names vile
+
+Princes ought never to be struck,
+except on the head
+
+Princesses ceded like a town, and must
+not even weep
+
+Principle that art implied selection
+
+Recommended a scrupulous observance of
+nature
+
+Remedy infallible against the plague
+and against reserve
+
+Reproaches are useless and cruel if the
+evil is done
+
+Should be punished for not having known
+how to punish
+
+So strongly does force impose upon men
+
+Tears for the future
+
+The great leveller has swung a long
+scythe over France
+
+The most in favor will be the soonest
+abandoned by him
+
+The usual remarks prompted by
+imbecility on such occasions
+
+These ideas may serve as opium to
+produce a calm
+
+They tremble while they threaten
+
+They have believed me incapable because
+I was kind
+
+They loved not as you love, eh?
+
+This popular favor is a cup one must
+drink
+
+This was the Dauphin, afterward Louis
+XIV
+
+True talent paints life rather than the
+living
+
+Truth,  I here venture to distinguish
+from that of the True
+
+Urbain Grandier
+
+What use is the memory of facts, if not
+to serve as an example
+
+Woman is more bitter than death, and
+her arms are like chains
+
+Yes, we are in the way here
+
+
+
+
+M.M. AND BEBE, By Gustave Droz
+
+
+
+A ripe husband, ready to fall from the
+tree
+
+Affection is catching
+
+All babies are round, yielding, weak,
+timid, and soft
+
+And I shall say 'damn it,' for I shall
+then be grown up
+
+Answer "No," but with a little kiss
+which means "Yes"
+
+As regards love, intention and deed are
+the same
+
+But she thinks she is affording you
+pleasure
+
+Clumsily, blew his nose, to the great
+relief of his two arms
+
+Do not seek too much
+
+Emotion when one does not share it
+
+First impression is based upon a number
+of trifles
+
+He Would Have Been Forty Now
+
+Hearty laughter which men affect to
+assist digestion
+
+How many things have not people been
+proud of
+
+How rich we find ourselves when we
+rummage in old drawers
+
+Husband who loves you and eats off the
+same plate is better
+
+I would give two summers for a single
+autumn
+
+I do not accept the hypothesis of a
+world made for us
+
+I came here for that express purpose
+
+I am not wandering through life, I am
+marching on
+
+Ignorant of everything, undesirous of
+learning anything
+
+In his future arrange laurels for a
+little crown for your own
+
+It (science) dreams, too; it supposes
+
+It is silly to blush under certain
+circumstances
+
+Learned to love others by embracing
+their own children
+
+Life is not so sweet for us to risk
+ourselves in it singlehanded
+
+Love in marriage is, as a rule, too
+much at his ease
+
+Man is but one of the links of an
+immense chain
+
+Rather do not give—make yourself
+sought after
+
+Reckon yourself happy if in your
+husband you find a lover
+
+Recollection of past dangers to
+increase the present joy
+
+Respect him so that he may respect you
+
+Shelter himself in the arms of the weak
+and recover courage
+
+Sometimes like to deck the future in
+the garments of the past
+
+The heart requires gradual changes
+
+The future that is rent away
+
+The recollection of that moment lasts
+for a lifetime
+
+The future promises, it is the present
+that pays
+
+Their love requires a return
+
+There are pious falsehoods which the
+Church excuses
+
+Ties that unite children to parents are
+unloosed
+
+Ties which unite parents to children
+are broken
+
+To be able to smoke a cigar without
+being sick
+
+To love is a great deal—To know how to
+love is everything
+
+We are simple to this degree, that we
+do not think we are
+
+When time has softened your grief
+
+Why mankind has chosen to call marriage
+a man-trap
+
+
+
+
+MONSIEUR DE CAMORS, By Octave Feuillet
+
+
+
+A man never should kneel unless sure of
+rising a conqueror
+
+A defensive attitude is never agreeable
+to a man
+
+Bad to fear the opinion of people one
+despises
+
+Believing that it is for virtue's sake
+alone such men love them
+
+Camors refused, hesitated, made
+objections, and consented
+
+Confounding progress with discord,
+liberty with license
+
+Contempt for men is the beginning of
+wisdom
+
+Cried out, with the blunt candor of his
+age
+
+Dangers of liberty outweighed its
+benefits
+
+Demanded of him imperatively—the time
+of day
+
+Determined to cultivate ability rather
+than scrupulousness
+
+Disenchantment which follows possession
+
+Do not get angry.  Rarely laugh, and
+never weep
+
+Every one is the best judge of his own
+affairs
+
+Every road leads to Rome—and one as
+surely as another
+
+Every cause that is in antagonism with
+its age commits suicide
+
+God—or no principles!
+
+Have not that pleasure, it is useless
+to incur the penalties
+
+He is charming, for one always feels in
+danger near him
+
+Inconstancy of heart is the special
+attribute of man
+
+Intemperance of her zeal and the
+acrimony of her bigotry
+
+Knew her danger, and, unlike most of
+them, she did not love it
+
+Man, if he will it, need not grow old:
+the lion must
+
+Never can make revolutions with gloves
+on
+
+Once an excellent remedy, is a
+detestable regimen
+
+One of those pious persons who always
+think evil
+
+Pleasures of an independent code of
+morals
+
+Police regulations known as religion
+
+Principles alone, without faith in some
+higher sanction
+
+Property of all who are strong enough
+to stand it
+
+Put herself on good terms with God, in
+case He should exist
+
+'Semel insanivimus omnes.'  (every one
+has his madness)
+
+Slip forth from the common herd, my
+son, think for yourself
+
+Suspicion that he is a feeble human
+creature after all!
+
+There will be no more belief in Christ
+than in Jupiter
+
+Ties that become duties where we only
+sought pleasures
+
+Truth is easily found.  I shall read
+all the newspapers
+
+Two persons who desired neither to
+remember nor to forget
+
+Whether in this world one must be a
+fanatic or nothing
+
+Whole world of politics and religion
+rushed to extremes
+
+With the habit of thinking, had not
+lost the habit of laughing
+
+You can not make an omelette without
+first breaking the eggs
+
+
+
+
+THE RED LILY, By Anatole France
+
+
+
+A woman is frank when she does not lie
+uselessly
+
+A hero must be human.  Napoleon was
+human
+
+Anti-Semitism is making fearful
+progress everywhere
+
+Brilliancy of a fortune too new
+
+Curious to know her face of that day
+
+Disappointed her to escape the danger
+she had feared
+
+Do you think that people have not
+talked about us?
+
+Does not wish one to treat it with
+either timidity or brutality
+
+Does one ever possess what one loves?
+
+Each had regained freedom, but he did
+not like to be alone
+
+Each was moved with self-pity
+
+Everybody knows about that
+
+Fringe which makes an unlovely border
+to the city
+
+Gave value to her affability by not
+squandering it
+
+He could not imagine that often words
+are the same as actions
+
+He studied until the last moment
+
+He is not intelligent enough to doubt
+
+He does not bear ill-will to those whom
+he persecutes
+
+He knew now the divine malady of love
+
+Her husband had become quite bearable
+
+His habit of pleasing had prolonged his
+youth
+
+(Housemaid) is trained to respect my
+disorder
+
+I love myself because you love me
+
+I can forget you only when I am with
+you
+
+I wished to spoil our past
+
+I feel in them (churches) the grandeur
+of nothingness
+
+I have to pay for the happiness you
+give me
+
+I gave myself to him because he loved
+me
+
+I haven't a taste, I have tastes
+
+I have known things which I know no
+more
+
+I do not desire your friendship
+
+Ideas they think superior to love—
+faith, habits, interests
+
+Immobility of time
+
+Impatient at praise which was not
+destined for himself
+
+Incapable of conceiving that one might
+talk without an object
+
+It was torture for her not to be able
+to rejoin him
+
+It is an error to be in the right too
+soon
+
+It was too late: she did not wish to
+win
+
+Jealous without having the right to be
+jealous
+
+Kisses and caresses are the effort of
+a delightful despair
+
+Knew that life is not worth so much
+anxiety nor so much hope
+
+Laughing in every wrinkle of his face
+
+Learn to live without desire
+
+Let us give to men irony and pity as
+witnesses and judges
+
+Life as a whole is too vast and too
+remote
+
+Life is made up of just such trifles
+
+Life is not a great thing
+
+Little that we can do when we are
+powerful
+
+Love is a soft and terrible force, more
+powerful than beauty
+
+Love was only a brief intoxication
+
+Lovers never separate kindly
+
+Made life give all it could yield
+
+Magnificent air of those beggars of
+whom small towns are proud
+
+Miserable beings who contribute to the
+grandeur of the past
+
+Nobody troubled himself about that
+originality
+
+None but fools resisted the current
+
+Not everything is known, but everything
+is said
+
+Nothing is so legitimate, so human, as
+to deceive pain
+
+One would think that the wind would put
+them out: the stars
+
+One who first thought of pasting a
+canvas on a panel
+
+One is never kind when one is in love
+
+One should never leave the one whom one
+loves
+
+Picturesquely ugly
+
+Recesses of her mind which she
+preferred not to open
+
+Relatives whom she did not know and who
+irritated her
+
+Seemed to him that men were grains in a
+coffee-mill
+
+She pleased society by appearing to
+find pleasure in it
+
+She is happy, since she likes to
+remember
+
+Should like better to do an immoral
+thing than a cruel one
+
+Simple people who doubt neither
+themselves nor others
+
+Since she was in love, she had lost
+prudence
+
+So well satisfied with his reply that
+he repeated it twice
+
+Superior men sometimes lack cleverness
+
+That sort of cold charity which is
+called altruism
+
+That if we live the reason is that we
+hope
+
+That absurd and generous fury for
+ownership
+
+The most radical breviary of scepticism
+since Montaigne
+
+The door of one's room opens on the
+infinite
+
+The past is the only human reality—
+Everything that is, is past
+
+The one whom you will love and who will
+love you will harm you
+
+The violent pleasure of losing
+
+The discouragement which the
+irreparable gives
+
+The real support of a government is the
+Opposition
+
+The politician never should be in
+advance of circumstances
+
+There is nothing good except to ignore
+and to forget
+
+There are many grand and strong things
+which you do not feel
+
+They are the coffin saying: 'I am the
+cradle'
+
+To be beautiful, must a woman have that
+thin form
+
+Trying to make Therese admire what she
+did not know
+
+Umbrellas, like black turtles under the
+watery skies
+
+Unfortunate creature who is the
+plaything of life
+
+Was I not warned enough of the sadness
+of everything?
+
+We are too happy; we are robbing life
+
+What will be the use of having
+tormented ourselves in this world
+
+Whether they know or do not know, they
+talk
+
+Women do not always confess it, but it
+is always their fault
+
+You must take me with my own soul!

+
+ABBE CONSTANTIN, By Ludovic Halevey
+
+
+
+Ancient pillars of stone, embrowned and
+gnawed by time
+
+And they are shoulders which ought to
+be seen
+
+Believing themselves irresistible
+
+But she will give me nothing but money
+
+Duty, simply accepted and simply
+discharged
+
+Frenchman has only one real luxury—his
+revolutions
+
+God may have sent him to purgatory just
+for form's sake
+
+Great difference between dearly and
+very much
+
+Had not told all—one never does tell
+all
+
+He led the brilliant and miserable
+existence of the unoccupied
+
+If there is one! (a paradise)
+
+In order to make money, the first thing
+is to have no need of it
+
+Love and tranquillity seldom dwell at
+peace in the same heart
+
+Never foolish to spend money.  The
+folly lies in keeping it
+
+Often been compared to Eugene Sue, but
+his touch is lighter
+
+One half of his life belonged to the
+poor
+
+One may think of marrying, but one
+ought not to try to marry
+
+Succeeded in wearying him by her
+importunities and tenderness
+
+The women have enough religion for the
+men
+
+The history of good people is often
+monotonous or painful
+
+To learn to obey is the only way of
+learning to command

+
+CHRYSANTHEME, By Pierre Loti
+
+
+
+Ah! the natural perversity of inanimate
+things
+
+Contemptuous pity, both for my
+suspicions and the cause of them
+
+Dull hours spent in idle and diffuse
+conversation
+
+Efforts to arrange matters we succeed
+often only in disarranging
+
+Found nothing that answered to my
+indefinable expectations
+
+Habit turns into a makeshift of
+attachment
+
+I know not what lost home that I have
+failed to find
+
+Irritating laugh which is peculiar to
+Japan
+
+Japanese habit of expressing myself
+with excessive politeness
+
+Ordinary, trivial, every-day objects
+
+Prayers swallowed like pills by
+invalids at a distance
+
+Seeking for a change which can no
+longer be found
+
+Trees, dwarfed by a Japanese process
+
+When the inattentive spirits are not
+listening
+
+Which I should find amusing in any one
+else,—any one I loved
+
+

+
+
+CONSCIENCE, By Hector Malot
+
+
+
+As ignorant as a schoolmaster
+
+As free from prejudices as one may be,
+one always retains a few
+
+Confidence in one's self is strength,
+but it is also weakness
+
+Conscience is a bad weighing-machine
+
+Conscience is only an affair of
+environment and of education
+
+Find it more easy to make myself feared
+than loved
+
+For the rest of his life he would be
+the prisoner of his crime
+
+Force, which is the last word of the
+philosophy of life
+
+He did not sleep, so much the better!
+He would work more
+
+I believed in the virtue of work, and
+look at me!
+
+In his eyes everything was decided by
+luck
+
+Intelligent persons have no remorse
+
+It is the first crime that costs
+
+It is only those who own something who
+worry about the price
+
+Leant—and when I did not lose my
+friends I lost my money
+
+Leisure must be had for light reading,
+and even more for love
+
+Looking for a needle in a bundle of hay
+
+Neither so simple nor so easy as they
+at first appeared
+
+One does not judge those whom one loves
+
+People whose principle was never to pay
+a doctor
+
+Power to work, that was never disturbed
+or weakened by anything
+
+Reason before the deed, and not after
+
+Repeated and explained what he had
+already said and explained
+
+She could not bear contempt
+
+The strong walk alone because they need
+no one
+
+We are so unhappy that our souls are
+weak against joy
+
+We weep, we do not complain
+
+Will not admit that conscience is the
+proper guide of our action
+
+You love me, therefore you do not know
+me
+
+
+
+
+ZIBELINE, By Phillipe de Massa
+
+
+
+All that was illogical in our social
+code
+
+Ambiguity has no place, nor has
+compromise
+
+But if this is our supreme farewell,
+do not tell me so!
+
+Chain so light yesterday, so heavy
+to-day
+
+Every man is his own master in his
+choice of liaisons
+
+If I do not give all I give nothing
+
+Indulgence of which they stand in need
+themselves
+
+Life goes on, and that is less gay than
+the stories
+
+Men admired her; the women sought some
+point to criticise
+
+Only a man, wavering and changeable
+
+Ostensibly you sit at the feast without
+paying the cost
+
+Paris has become like a little country
+town in its gossip
+
+The night brings counsel
+
+Their Christian charity did not extend
+so far as that
+
+There are mountains that we never climb
+but once
+
+You are in a conquered country, which
+is still more dangerous
+
+
+
+
+THE CHILD OF A CENTURY, By Alfred de Musset
+
+
+
+A terrible danger lurks in the
+knowledge of what is possible
+
+Accustomed to call its disguise virtue
+
+Adieu, my son, I love you and I die
+
+All philosophy is akin to atheism
+
+All that is not life, it is the noise
+of life
+
+And when love is sure of itself and
+knows response
+
+Because you weep, you fondly imagine
+yourself innocent
+
+Become corrupt, and you will cease to
+suffer
+
+Began to forget my own sorrow in my
+sympathy for her
+
+Beware of disgust, it is an incurable
+evil
+
+Can any one prevent a gossip
+
+Cold silence, that negative force
+
+Contrive to use proud disdain as a
+shield
+
+Death is more to be desired than a
+living distaste for life
+
+Despair of a man sick of life, or the
+whim of a spoiled child
+
+Do they think they have invented what
+they see
+
+Each one knows what the other is about
+to say
+
+Fool who destroys his own happiness
+
+Force itself, that mistress of the
+world
+
+Funeral processions are no longer
+permitted
+
+Galileo struck the earth, crying:
+"Nevertheless it moves!"
+
+Good and bad days succeeded each other
+almost regularly
+
+Great sorrows neither accuse nor
+blaspheme—they listen
+
+Grief itself was for her but a means of
+seducing
+
+Happiness of being pursued
+
+He who is loved by a beautiful woman is
+sheltered from every blow
+
+He lives only in the body
+
+How much they desire to be loved who
+say they love no more
+
+Human weakness seeks association
+
+I can not be near you and separated
+from you at the same moment
+
+I can not love her, I can not love
+another
+
+I boasted of being worse than I really
+was
+
+I neither love nor esteem sadness
+
+I do not intend either to boast or
+abase myself
+
+Ignorance into which the Greek clergy
+plunged the laity
+
+In what do you believe?
+
+Indignation can solace grief and
+restore happiness
+
+Is he a dwarf or a giant
+
+Is it not enough to have lived?
+
+It is a pity that you must seek
+pastimes
+
+Make a shroud of your virtue in which
+to bury your crimes
+
+Man who suffers wishes to make her whom
+he loves suffer
+
+Men doubted everything: the young men
+denied everything
+
+No longer esteemed her highly enough to
+be jealous of her
+
+Of all the sisters of love, the most
+beautiful is pity
+
+Perfection does not exist
+
+Pure caprice that I myself mistook for
+a flash of reason
+
+Quarrel had been, so to speak, less sad
+than our reconciliation
+
+Reading the Memoirs of Constant
+
+Resorted to exaggeration in order to
+appear original
+
+Sceptic regrets the faith he has lost
+the power to regain
+
+Seven  who are always the same: the
+first is called hope
+
+She pretended to hope for the best
+
+Sometimes we seem to enjoy unhappiness
+
+"Speak to me of your love," she said,
+"not of your grief"
+
+St. Augustine
+
+Suffered, and yet took pleasure in it
+
+Suspicions that are ever born anew
+
+Terrible words; I deserve them, but
+they will kill me
+
+There are two different men in you
+
+Ticking of which (our arteries) can be
+heard only at night
+
+"Unhappy man!"  she cried, "you will
+never know how to love"
+
+We have had a mass celebrated, and it
+cost us a large sum
+
+What you take for love is nothing more
+than desire
+
+What human word will ever express thy
+slightest caress
+
+When passion sways man, reason follows
+him weeping and warning
+
+Who has told you that tears can wash
+away the stains of guilt
+
+Wine suffuses the face as if to prevent
+shame appearing there
+
+You believe in what is said here below
+and not in what is done
+
+You play with happiness as a child
+plays with a rattle
+
+You turn the leaves of dead books
+
+Your great weapon is silence
+
+Youth is to judge of the world from
+first impressions
+
+
+
+
+SERGE PANINE, By George Ohnet
+
+
+
+A man weeps with difficulty before a woman
+
+A uniform is the only garb which can hide
+poverty honorably
+
+Antagonism to plutocracy and hatred of
+aristocrats
+
+Because they moved, they thought they were
+progressing
+
+Cowardly in trouble as he had been insolent
+in prosperity
+
+Enough to be nobody's unless I belong to him
+
+Even those who do not love her desire to
+know her
+
+Everywhere was feverish excitement, dissipation,
+and nullity
+
+Flayed and roasted alive by the critics
+
+Forget a dream and accept a reality
+
+Hard workers are pitiful lovers
+
+He lost his time, his money, his hair, his
+illusions
+
+He was very unhappy at being misunderstood
+
+Heed that you lose not in dignity what you gain
+in revenge
+
+I thought the best means of being loved were
+to deserve it
+
+I don't pay myself with words
+
+Implacable self-interest which is the law of
+the world
+
+In life it is only nonsense that is
+common-sense
+
+Is a man ever poor when he has two arms?
+
+Is it by law only that you wish to keep me?
+
+It was a relief when they rose from the table
+
+Men of pleasure remain all their lives
+mediocre workers
+
+Money troubles are not mortal
+
+My aunt is jealous of me because I am a
+man of ideas
+
+Negroes, all but monkeys!
+
+Nothing that provokes laughter more than a
+disappointed lover
+
+One amuses one's self at the risk of dying
+
+Patience, should he encounter a dull page
+here or there
+
+Romanticism still ferments beneath the
+varnish of Naturalism
+
+Sacrifice his artistic leanings to popular
+caprice
+
+Scarcely was one scheme launched when another
+idea occurred
+
+She would have liked the world to be in mourning
+
+Suffering is a human law; the world is an arena
+
+Talk with me sometimes.  You will not chatter
+trivialities
+
+The guilty will not feel your blows, but the
+innocent
+
+The uncontested power which money brings
+
+They had only one aim, one passion—to enjoy
+themselves
+
+Unqualified for happiness
+
+We had taken the dream of a day for eternal
+happiness
+
+What is a man who remains useless
+
+Without a care or a cross, he grew weary
+like a prisoner
+
+You are talking too much about it to be
+sincere
+
+
+
+
+AN "ATTIC" PHILOSOPHER, By Emile Souvestre
+
+
+
+Always to mistake feeling for evidence
+
+Ambroise Pare: 'I tend him, God cures
+him!'
+
+Are we then bound to others only by the
+enforcement of laws
+
+Attach a sense of remorse to each of my
+pleasures
+
+Brought them up to poverty
+
+But above these ruins rises a calm and
+happy face
+
+Carn-ival means, literally, "farewell
+to flesh!"
+
+Coffee is the grand work of a
+bachelor's housekeeping
+
+Contemptuous pride of knowledge
+
+Death, that faithful friend of the
+wretched
+
+Defeat and victory only displace each
+other by turns
+
+Did not think the world was so great
+
+Do they understand what makes them so
+gay?
+
+Each of us regards himself as the
+mirror of the community
+
+Ease with which the poor forget their
+wretchedness
+
+Every one keeps his holidays in his own
+way
+
+Fame and power are gifts that are
+dearly bought
+
+Favorite and conclusive answer of his
+class—"I know"
+
+Fear of losing a moment from business
+
+Finishes his sin thoroughly before he
+begins to repent
+
+Fortune sells what we believe she gives
+
+Her kindness, which never sleeps
+
+Houses are vessels which take mere
+passengers
+
+Hubbub of questions which waited for no
+reply
+
+I make it a rule never to have any hope
+
+Ignorant of what there is to wish for
+
+Looks on an accomplished duty neither
+as a merit nor a grievance
+
+Make himself a name:  he becomes public
+property
+
+Moderation is the great social virtue
+
+More stir than work
+
+My patronage has become her property
+
+No one is so unhappy as to have nothing
+to give
+
+Not desirous to teach goodness
+
+Nothing is dishonorable which is useful
+
+Our tempers are like an opera-glass
+
+Poverty, you see, is a famous
+schoolmistress
+
+Power of necessity
+
+Prisoners of work
+
+Progress can never be forced on without
+danger
+
+Question is not to discover what will
+suit us
+
+Richer than France herself, for I have
+no deficit in my budget
+
+Ruining myself, but we must all have
+our Carnival
+
+Satisfy our wants, if we know how to
+set bounds to them
+
+Sensible man, who has observed much and
+speaks little
+
+So much confidence at first, so much
+doubt at las
+
+Sullen tempers are excited by the
+patience of their victims
+
+The happiness of the wise man costs but
+little
+
+The man in power gives up his peace
+
+Two thirds of human existence are
+wasted in hesitation
+
+Virtue made friends, but she did not
+take pupils
+
+We do not understand that others may
+live on their own account
+
+We are not bound to live, while we are
+bound to do our duty
+
+What have you done with the days God
+granted you
+
+What a small dwelling joy can live
+
+You may know the game by the lair
+

+
+
+A WOODLAND QUEEN, By Andre Theuriet
+
+
+
+Accustomed to hide what I think
+
+Amusements they offered were either
+wearisome or repugnant
+
+Consoled himself with one of the pious
+commonplaces
+
+Dreaded the monotonous regularity of
+conjugal life
+
+Fawning duplicity
+
+Had not been spoiled by Fortune's gifts
+
+How small a space man occupies on the
+earth
+
+Hypocritical grievances
+
+I am not in the habit of consulting the
+law
+
+I measure others by myself
+
+It does not mend matters to give way
+like that
+
+Like all timid persons, he took refuge
+in a moody silence
+
+More disposed to discover evil than
+good
+
+Nature's cold indifference to our
+sufferings
+
+Never is perfect happiness our lot
+
+Opposing his orders with steady,
+irritating inertia
+
+Others found delight in the most
+ordinary amusements
+
+Plead the lie to get at the truth
+
+Sensitiveness and disposition to
+self-blame
+
+The ease with which he is forgotten
+
+There are some men who never have had
+any childhood
+
+Those who have outlived their illusions
+
+Timidity of a night-bird that is made
+to fly in the day
+
+To make a will  is to put one foot into
+the grave
+
+Toast and white wine (for breakfast)
+
+Vague hope came over him that all would
+come right
+
+Vexed, act in direct contradiction to
+their own wishes
+
+Women: they are more bitter than death
+
+Yield to their customs, and not
+pooh-pooh their amusements
+
+You have considerable patience for a
+lover
+
+You must be pleased with yourself—that
+is more essential

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+Seldom troubled himself to please any

+
+Small women ought not to grow stout

+Sympathetic listening, never having

+Unwilling to leave him to the repose

+It was torture for her not to be able

+
+It is an error to be in the right too

+
+It was too late: she did not wish to

+
+Jealous without having the right to be
+jealous
+
+Kisses and caresses are the effort of

+
+Knew that life is not worth so much

+Learn to live without desire

+Let us give to men irony and pity as

+
+Life as a whole is too vast and too
+remote
+
+Life is made up of just such trifles
+
+Life is not a great thing
+
+Little that we can do when we are
+powerful
+
+Love is a soft and terrible force, more
+powerful than beauty
+
+Love was only a brief intoxication
+
+Lovers never separate kindly
+
+Made life give all it could yield
+
+Magnificent air of those beggars of

+
+Miserable beings who contribute to the

+
+Nobody troubled himself about that

+
+None but fools resisted the current
+
+Not everything is known, but everything

+
+Nothing is so legitimate, so human, as
+to deceive pain
+
+One would think that the wind would put

+One should never leave the one whom one
+loves

+
+She pleased society by appearing to

+
+She is happy, since she likes to

+
+Should like better to do an immoral

+
+Simple people who doubt neither

+
+Since she was in love, she had lost

+Superior men sometimes lack cleverness
+
+That sort of cold charity which is
+called altruism
+
+That if we live the reason is that we
+hope
+
+That absurd and generous fury for

+
+The most radical breviary of scepticism
+since Montaigne
+
+The door of one's room opens on the

+
+The past is the only human reality&mdash;
+Everything that is, is past
+
+The one whom you will love and who will

+
+The violent pleasure of losing
+
+The discouragement which the
+irreparable gives
+
+The real support of a government is the
+Opposition
+
+The politician never should be in
+advance of circumstances
+
+There is nothing good except to ignore
+and to forget
+
+There are many grand and strong things
+which you do not feel
+
+They are the coffin saying: 'I am the
+cradle'
+
+To be beautiful, must a woman have that
+thin form
+
+Trying to make Therese admire what she

+
+Umbrellas, like black turtles under the

+
+Unfortunate creature who is the
+plaything of life
+
+Was I not warned enough of the sadness
+of everything?
+
+We are too happy; we are robbing life
+
+What will be the use of having
+tormented ourselves in this world
+
+Whether they know or do not know, they
+talk
+
+Women do not always confess it, but it
+is always their fault

+You must take me with my own soul!

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+THE INK STAIN, By Rene Bazin
+
+
+
+All that a name is to a street--
+its honor, its spouse
+
+Came not in single spies, but in
+battalions
+
+Distrust first impulse
+
+Felix culpa
+
+Happy men don't need company
+
+Hard that one can not live one's life
+over twice
+
+He always loved to pass for being
+overwhelmed with work
+
+I don't call that fishing
+
+If trouble awaits us, hope will  steal
+us a happy hour or two
+
+Lends--I should say gives
+
+Men forget sooner
+
+Natural only when alone, and talk well
+only to themselves
+
+Obstacles are the salt of all our joys
+
+One doesn't offer apologies to a man in
+his wrath
+
+People meeting to "have it out" usually
+say nothing at first
+
+Silence, alas! is not the reproof of
+kings alone
+
+Skilful actor, who apes all the
+emotions while feeling none
+
+Sorrows shrink into insignificance as
+the horizon broadens
+
+Surprise goes for so much in what we
+admire
+
+The very smell of books is improving
+
+The looks of the young are always full
+of the future
+
+There are some blunders that are lucky;
+but you can't tell
+
+To be your own guide doubles your
+pleasure
+
+You a law student, while our farmers
+are in want of hands
+
+You must always first get the tobacco
+to burn evenly
+
+You ask Life for certainties, as if she
+had any to give you
+
+
+
+
+JACQUELINE, By Therese Bentzon (Mme. Blanc)
+
+
+
+A familiarity which, had he known it,
+was not flattering
+
+A mother's geese are always swans
+
+As we grow older we lay aside harsh
+judgments and sharp words
+
+Bathers, who exhibited themselves in
+all degrees of ugliness
+
+Blow which annihilates our supreme
+illusion
+
+Death is not that last sleep
+
+Fool (there is no cure for that
+infirmity)
+
+Fred's verses were not good, but they
+were full of dejection
+
+Great interval between a dream and its
+execution
+
+Hang out the bush, but keep no tavern
+
+His sleeplessness was not the insomnia
+of genius
+
+Importance in this world are as easily
+swept away as the sand
+
+Music--so often dangerous to married
+happiness
+
+Natural longing, that we all have,
+to know the worst
+
+Notion of her husband's having an
+opinion of his own
+
+Old women--at least thirty years old!
+
+Pride supplies some sufferers with
+necessary courage
+
+Seemed to enjoy themselves, or made
+believe they did
+
+Seldom troubled himself to please any
+one he did not care for
+
+Small women ought not to grow stout
+
+Sympathetic listening, never having
+herself anything to say
+
+The bandage love ties over the eyes
+of men
+
+The worst husband is always better
+than none
+
+This unending warfare we call love
+
+Unwilling to leave him to the repose
+he needed
+
+Waste all that upon a thing that nobody
+will ever look at
+
+Women who are thirty-five should never
+weep
+
+
+
+
+GERFAUT, By Charles de Bernard
+
+
+
+Antipathy for her husband bordering
+upon aversion
+
+Attractions that difficulties give
+to pleasure
+
+Attractive abyss of drunkenness
+
+Consented to become a wife so as not
+to remain a maiden
+
+Despotic tone which a woman assumes
+when sure of her empire
+
+Evident that the man was above his
+costume; a rare thing!
+
+I believed it all; one is so happy to
+believe!
+
+It is a terrible step for a woman to
+take, from No to Yes
+
+Lady who requires urging, although she
+is dying to sing
+
+Let them laugh that win!
+
+Let ultra-modesty destroy poetry
+
+Love is a fire whose heat dies out for
+want of fuel
+
+Mania for fearing that she may be
+compromised
+
+Material in you to make one of Cooper's
+redskins
+
+Misfortunes never come single
+
+No woman is unattainable, except when
+she loves another
+
+Obstinacy of drunkenness
+
+Recourse to concessions is often as
+fatal to women as to kings
+
+Regards his happiness as a proof of
+superiority
+
+She said yes, so as not to say no
+
+These are things that one admits only
+to himself
+
+Those whom they most amuse are those
+who are best worth amusing
+
+Topics that occupy people who meet for
+the first time
+
+Trying to conceal by a smile (a blush)
+
+When one speaks of the devil he appears
+
+Wiped his nose behind his hat, like a
+well-bred orator
+
+You are playing 'who loses wins!'
+
+
+
+
+
+COSMOPOLIS, By Paul Bourget
+
+
+
+Conditions of blindness so voluntary
+that they become complicity
+
+Despotism natural to puissant
+personalities
+
+Egyptian tobacco, mixed with opium and
+saltpetre
+
+Follow their thoughts instead of
+heeding objects
+
+Has as much sense as the handle of a
+basket
+
+Have never known in the morning what I
+would do in the evening
+
+I no longer love you
+
+Imagine what it would be never to have
+been born
+
+Mediocre sensibility
+
+Melancholy problem of the birth and
+death of love
+
+Mobile and complaisant conscience had
+already forgiven himself
+
+No flies enter a closed mouth
+
+Not an excuse, but an explanation of
+your conduct
+
+One of those trustful men who did not
+judge when they loved
+
+Only one thing infamous in love, and
+that is a falsehood
+
+Pitiful checker-board of life
+
+Scarcely a shade of gentle
+condescension
+
+Sufficed him to conceive the plan of a
+reparation
+
+That suffering which curses but does
+not pardon
+
+That you can aid them in leading better
+lives?
+
+The forests have taught man liberty
+
+There is an intelligent man, who never
+questions his ideas
+
+There is always and everywhere a duty
+to fulfil
+
+Thinking it better not to lie on minor
+points
+
+Too prudent to risk or gain much
+
+Walked at the rapid pace characteristic
+of monomaniacs
+
+Words are nothing; it is the tone in
+which they are uttered
+
+
+
+
+
+PRINCE ZILAH, By Jules Claretie
+
+
+
+A man's life belongs to his duty,
+and not to his happiness
+
+All defeats have their geneses
+
+An hour of rest between two ordeals,
+a smile between two sobs
+
+Anonymous, that velvet mask of
+scandal-mongers
+
+At every step the reality splashes you
+with mud
+
+Bullets are not necessarily on the side
+of the right
+
+Does one ever forget?
+
+Foreigners are more Parisian than the
+Parisians themselves
+
+History is written, not made.
+
+"I might forgive," said Andras; "but I
+could not forget"
+
+If well-informed people are to be
+believe
+
+Insanity is, perhaps, simply the ideal
+realized
+
+It is so good to know nothing, nothing,
+nothing
+
+Let the dead past bury its dead!
+
+Life is a tempest
+
+Man who expects nothing of life except
+its ending
+
+Nervous natures, as prompt to hope as
+to despair
+
+No answer to make to one who has no
+right to question me
+
+Not only his last love, but his only
+love
+
+Nothing ever astonishes me
+
+One of those beings who die, as they
+have lived, children
+
+Pessimism of to-day sneering at his
+confidence of yesterday
+
+Playing checkers, that mimic warfare of
+old men
+
+Poverty brings wrinkles
+
+Sufferer becomes, as it were, enamored
+of his own agony
+
+Superstition which forbids one to
+proclaim his happiness
+
+Taken the times as they are
+
+The Hungarian was created on horseback
+
+There were too many discussions, and
+not enough action
+
+Unable to speak, for each word would
+have been a sob
+
+What matters it how much we suffer
+
+Why should I read the newspapers?
+
+Willingly seek a new sorrow
+
+Would not be astonished at anything
+
+You suffer?  Is fate so just as that
+
+
+
+
+
+A ROMANCE OF YOUTH, By Francois Coppee
+
+
+
+Break in his memory, like a book with
+several leaves torn out
+
+Dreams, instead of living
+
+Egotists and cowards always have a
+reason for everything
+
+Eternally condemned to kill each other
+in order to live
+
+Fortunate enough to keep those one
+loves
+
+God forgive the timid and the prattler!
+
+Good form consists, above all things,
+in keeping silent
+
+Happiness exists only by snatches and
+lasts only a moment
+
+He does not know the miseries of
+ambition and vanity
+
+He almost regretted her
+
+How sad these old memorics are in the
+autumn
+
+Inoffensive tree which never had harmed
+anybody
+
+Intimate friend, whom he has known for
+about five minutes
+
+It was all delightfully terrible!
+
+Learned that one leaves college almost
+ignorant
+
+Mild, unpretentious men who let
+everybody run over them
+
+My good fellow, you are quite worthless
+as a man of pleasure
+
+Never travel when the heart is
+troubled!
+
+Not more honest than necessary
+
+Now his grief was his wife, and lived
+with him
+
+Paint from nature
+
+Poor France of Jeanne d'Arc and of
+Napoleon
+
+Redouble their boasting after each
+defeat
+
+Society people condemned to hypocrisy
+and falsehood
+
+Take their levity for heroism
+
+Tediousness seems to ooze out through
+their bindings
+
+The leaves fall!  the leaves fall!
+
+The sincere age when one thinks aloud
+
+Tired smile of those who have not long
+to live
+
+Trees are like men; there are some that
+have no luck
+
+Universal suffrage, with its accustomed
+intelligence
+
+Upon my word, there are no ugly ones
+(women)
+
+Very young, and was in love with love
+
+Voice of the heart which alone has
+power to reach the heart
+
+Were certain against all reason
+
+When he sings, it is because he has
+something to sing about
+
+
+
+
+FROMONT AND RISLER, By Alphonse Daudet
+
+
+
+A man may forgive, but he never forgets
+
+Abundant details which he sometimes
+volunteered
+
+Affectation of indifference
+
+Always smiling condescendingly
+
+Charm of that one day's rest and its
+solemnity
+
+Clashing knives and forks mark time
+
+Convent of Saint Joseph, four shoes
+under the bed!
+
+Deeming every sort of occupation
+beneath him
+
+Dreams of wealth and the disasters that
+immediately followed
+
+Exaggerated dramatic pantomime
+
+Faces taken by surprise allow their
+real thoughts to be seen
+
+He fixed the time mentally when he
+would speak
+
+Little feathers fluttering for an
+opportunity to fly away
+
+Make for themselves a horizon of the
+neighboring walls and roofs
+
+No one has ever been able to find out
+what her thoughts were
+
+Pass half the day in procuring two
+cakes, worth three sous
+
+She was of those who disdain no
+compliment
+
+Such artificial enjoyment, such idiotic
+laughter
+
+Superiority of the man who does nothing
+over the man who works
+
+Terrible revenge she would take
+hereafter for her sufferings
+
+The poor must pay for all their
+enjoyments
+
+The groom isn't handsome, but the
+bride's as pretty as a picture
+
+Void in her heart, a place made ready
+for disasters to come
+
+Wiping his forehead ostentatiously
+
+Word "sacrifice," so vague on careless
+lips
+
+Would have liked him to be blind only
+so far as he was concerned
+
+
+
+
+CINQ MARS, By Alfred de Vigny
+
+
+
+A cat is a very fine animal.  It is a
+drawing-room tiger
+
+A queen's country is where her throne
+is
+
+Adopted fact is always better composed
+than the real one
+
+Advantage that a calm temper gives one
+over men
+
+All that he said, I had already thought
+
+Always the first word which is the most
+difficult to say
+
+Ambition is the saddest of all hopes
+
+Art is the chosen truth
+
+Artificialities of style of that period
+
+Artistic Truth, more lofty than the
+True
+
+As Homer says, "smiling under tears"
+
+Assume with others the mien they wore
+toward him
+
+But how avenge one's self on silence?
+
+Dare now to be silent when I have told
+you these things
+
+Daylight is detrimental to them
+
+Deny the spirit of self-sacrifice
+
+Difference which I find between Truth
+in art and the True in fac
+
+Doubt, the greatest misery of love
+
+Friendship exists only in independence
+and a kind of equality
+
+Happy is he who does not outlive his
+youth
+
+Hatred of everything which is superior
+to myself
+
+He did not blush to be a man, and he
+spoke to men with force
+
+Hermits can not refrain from inquiring
+what men say of them
+
+History too was a work of art
+
+I have burned all the bridges behind me
+
+In pitying me he forgot himself
+
+In every age we laugh at the costume of
+our fathers
+
+In times like these we must see all and
+say all
+
+It is not now what it used to be
+
+It is too true that virtue also has its
+blush
+
+Lofty ideal of woman and of love
+
+Men are weak, and there are things
+which women must accomplish
+
+Money is not a common thing between
+gentlemen like you and me
+
+Monsieur, I know that I have lived too
+long
+
+Neither idealist nor realist
+
+Never interfered in what did not
+concern him
+
+No writer had more dislike of mere
+pedantry
+
+Offices will end by rendering great
+names vile
+
+Princes ought never to be struck,
+except on the head
+
+Princesses ceded like a town, and must
+not even weep
+
+Principle that art implied selection
+
+Recommended a scrupulous observance of
+nature
+
+Remedy infallible against the plague
+and against reserve
+
+Reproaches are useless and cruel if the
+evil is done
+
+Should be punished for not having known
+how to punish
+
+So strongly does force impose upon men
+
+Tears for the future
+
+The great leveller has swung a long
+scythe over France
+
+The most in favor will be the soonest
+abandoned by him
+
+The usual remarks prompted by
+imbecility on such occasions
+
+These ideas may serve as opium to
+produce a calm
+
+They tremble while they threaten
+
+They have believed me incapable because
+I was kind
+
+They loved not as you love, eh?
+
+This popular favor is a cup one must
+drink
+
+This was the Dauphin, afterward Louis
+XIV
+
+True talent paints life rather than the
+living
+
+Truth,  I here venture to distinguish
+from that of the True
+
+Urbain Grandier
+
+What use is the memory of facts, if not
+to serve as an example
+
+Woman is more bitter than death, and
+her arms are like chains
+
+Yes, we are in the way here
+
+
+
+
+M.M. AND BEBE, By Gustave Droz
+
+
+
+A ripe husband, ready to fall from the
+tree
+
+Affection is catching
+
+All babies are round, yielding, weak,
+timid, and soft
+
+And I shall say 'damn it,' for I shall
+then be grown up
+
+Answer "No," but with a little kiss
+which means "Yes"
+
+As regards love, intention and deed are
+the same
+
+But she thinks she is affording you
+pleasure
+
+Clumsily, blew his nose, to the great
+relief of his two arms
+
+Do not seek too much
+
+Emotion when one does not share it
+
+First impression is based upon a number
+of trifles
+
+He Would Have Been Forty Now
+
+Hearty laughter which men affect to
+assist digestion
+
+How many things have not people been
+proud of
+
+How rich we find ourselves when we
+rummage in old drawers
+
+Husband who loves you and eats off the
+same plate is better
+
+I would give two summers for a single
+autumn
+
+I do not accept the hypothesis of a
+world made for us
+
+I came here for that express purpose
+
+I am not wandering through life, I am
+marching on
+
+Ignorant of everything, undesirous of
+learning anything
+
+In his future arrange laurels for a
+little crown for your own
+
+It (science) dreams, too; it supposes
+
+It is silly to blush under certain
+circumstances
+
+Learned to love others by embracing
+their own children
+
+Life is not so sweet for us to risk
+ourselves in it singlehanded
+
+Love in marriage is, as a rule, too
+much at his ease
+
+Man is but one of the links of an
+immense chain
+
+Rather do not give--make yourself
+sought after
+
+Reckon yourself happy if in your
+husband you find a lover
+
+Recollection of past dangers to
+increase the present joy
+
+Respect him so that he may respect you
+
+Shelter himself in the arms of the weak
+and recover courage
+
+Sometimes like to deck the future in
+the garments of the past
+
+The heart requires gradual changes
+
+The future that is rent away
+
+The recollection of that moment lasts
+for a lifetime
+
+The future promises, it is the present
+that pays
+
+Their love requires a return
+
+There are pious falsehoods which the
+Church excuses
+
+Ties that unite children to parents are
+unloosed
+
+Ties which unite parents to children
+are broken
+
+To be able to smoke a cigar without
+being sick
+
+To love is a great deal--To know how to
+love is everything
+
+We are simple to this degree, that we
+do not think we are
+
+When time has softened your grief
+
+Why mankind has chosen to call marriage
+a man-trap
+
+
+
+
+MONSIEUR DE CAMORS, By Octave Feuillet
+
+
+
+A man never should kneel unless sure of
+rising a conqueror
+
+A defensive attitude is never agreeable
+to a man
+
+Bad to fear the opinion of people one
+despises
+
+Believing that it is for virtue's sake
+alone such men love them
+
+Camors refused, hesitated, made
+objections, and consented
+
+Confounding progress with discord,
+liberty with license
+
+Contempt for men is the beginning of
+wisdom
+
+Cried out, with the blunt candor of his
+age
+
+Dangers of liberty outweighed its
+benefits
+
+Demanded of him imperatively--the time
+of day
+
+Determined to cultivate ability rather
+than scrupulousness
+
+Disenchantment which follows possession
+
+Do not get angry.  Rarely laugh, and
+never weep
+
+Every one is the best judge of his own
+affairs
+
+Every road leads to Rome--and one as
+surely as another
+
+Every cause that is in antagonism with
+its age commits suicide
+
+God--or no principles!
+
+Have not that pleasure, it is useless
+to incur the penalties
+
+He is charming, for one always feels in
+danger near him
+
+Inconstancy of heart is the special
+attribute of man
+
+Intemperance of her zeal and the
+acrimony of her bigotry
+
+Knew her danger, and, unlike most of
+them, she did not love it
+
+Man, if he will it, need not grow old:
+the lion must
+
+Never can make revolutions with gloves
+on
+
+Once an excellent remedy, is a
+detestable regimen
+
+One of those pious persons who always
+think evil
+
+Pleasures of an independent code of
+morals
+
+Police regulations known as religion
+
+Principles alone, without faith in some
+higher sanction
+
+Property of all who are strong enough
+to stand it
+
+Put herself on good terms with God, in
+case He should exist
+
+'Semel insanivimus omnes.'  (every one
+has his madness)
+
+Slip forth from the common herd, my
+son, think for yourself
+
+Suspicion that he is a feeble human
+creature after all!
+
+There will be no more belief in Christ
+than in Jupiter
+
+Ties that become duties where we only
+sought pleasures
+
+Truth is easily found.  I shall read
+all the newspapers
+
+Two persons who desired neither to
+remember nor to forget
+
+Whether in this world one must be a
+fanatic or nothing
+
+Whole world of politics and religion
+rushed to extremes
+
+With the habit of thinking, had not
+lost the habit of laughing
+
+You can not make an omelette without
+first breaking the eggs
+
+
+
+
+THE RED LILY, By Anatole France
+
+
+
+A woman is frank when she does not lie
+uselessly
+
+A hero must be human.  Napoleon was
+human
+
+Anti-Semitism is making fearful
+progress everywhere
+
+Brilliancy of a fortune too new
+
+Curious to know her face of that day
+
+Disappointed her to escape the danger
+she had feared
+
+Do you think that people have not
+talked about us?
+
+Does not wish one to treat it with
+either timidity or brutality
+
+Does one ever possess what one loves?
+
+Each had regained freedom, but he did
+not like to be alone
+
+Each was moved with self-pity
+
+Everybody knows about that
+
+Fringe which makes an unlovely border
+to the city
+
+Gave value to her affability by not
+squandering it
+
+He could not imagine that often words
+are the same as actions
+
+He studied until the last moment
+
+He is not intelligent enough to doubt
+
+He does not bear ill-will to those whom
+he persecutes
+
+He knew now the divine malady of love
+
+Her husband had become quite bearable
+
+His habit of pleasing had prolonged his
+youth
+
+(Housemaid) is trained to respect my
+disorder
+
+I love myself because you love me
+
+I can forget you only when I am with
+you
+
+I wished to spoil our past
+
+I feel in them (churches) the grandeur
+of nothingness
+
+I have to pay for the happiness you
+give me
+
+I gave myself to him because he loved
+me
+
+I haven't a taste, I have tastes
+
+I have known things which I know no
+more
+
+I do not desire your friendship
+
+Ideas they think superior to love--
+faith, habits, interests
+
+Immobility of time
+
+Impatient at praise which was not
+destined for himself
+
+Incapable of conceiving that one might
+talk without an object
+
+It was torture for her not to be able
+to rejoin him
+
+It is an error to be in the right too
+soon
+
+It was too late: she did not wish to
+win
+
+Jealous without having the right to be
+jealous
+
+Kisses and caresses are the effort of
+a delightful despair
+
+Knew that life is not worth so much
+anxiety nor so much hope
+
+Laughing in every wrinkle of his face
+
+Learn to live without desire
+
+Let us give to men irony and pity as
+witnesses and judges
+
+Life as a whole is too vast and too
+remote
+
+Life is made up of just such trifles
+
+Life is not a great thing
+
+Little that we can do when we are
+powerful
+
+Love is a soft and terrible force, more
+powerful than beauty
+
+Love was only a brief intoxication
+
+Lovers never separate kindly
+
+Made life give all it could yield
+
+Magnificent air of those beggars of
+whom small towns are proud
+
+Miserable beings who contribute to the
+grandeur of the past
+
+Nobody troubled himself about that
+originality
+
+None but fools resisted the current
+
+Not everything is known, but everything
+is said
+
+Nothing is so legitimate, so human, as
+to deceive pain
+
+One would think that the wind would put
+them out: the stars
+
+One who first thought of pasting a
+canvas on a panel
+
+One is never kind when one is in love
+
+One should never leave the one whom one

+Picturesquely ugly
+
+Recesses of her mind which she
+preferred not to open
+
+Relatives whom she did not know and who
+irritated her
+
+Seemed to him that men were grains in a
+coffee-mill
+
+She pleased society by appearing to
+find pleasure in it
+
+She is happy, since she likes to
+remember
+
+Should like better to do an immoral
+thing than a cruel one
+
+Simple people who doubt neither
+themselves nor others
+
+Since she was in love, she had lost

+
+So well satisfied with his reply that

+
+Superior men sometimes lack cleverness
+
+That sort of cold charity which is
+called altruism
+
+That if we live the reason is that we
+hope
+
+That absurd and generous fury for
+ownership
+
+The most radical breviary of scepticism
+since Montaigne
+
+The door of one's room opens on the
+infinite
+
+The past is the only human reality--
+Everything that is, is past
+
+The one whom you will love and who will
+love you will harm you
+
+The violent pleasure of losing
+
+The discouragement which the
+irreparable gives
+
+The real support of a government is the
+Opposition
+
+The politician never should be in
+advance of circumstances
+
+There is nothing good except to ignore
+and to forget
+
+There are many grand and strong things
+which you do not feel
+
+They are the coffin saying: 'I am the
+cradle'
+
+To be beautiful, must a woman have that
+thin form
+
+Trying to make Therese admire what she
+did not know
+
+Umbrellas, like black turtles under the
+watery skies
+
+Unfortunate creature who is the
+plaything of life
+
+Was I not warned enough of the sadness
+of everything?
+
+We are too happy; we are robbing life
+
+What will be the use of having
+tormented ourselves in this world

+Whether they know or do not know, they

+Women do not always confess it, but it
+is always their fault
+
+You must take me with my own soul!

+ABBE CONSTANTIN, By Ludovic Halevey
+
+
+
+Ancient pillars of stone, embrowned and
+gnawed by time
+
+And they are shoulders which ought to
+be seen
+
+Believing themselves irresistible
+
+But she will give me nothing but money
+
+Duty, simply accepted and simply
+discharged
+
+Frenchman has only one real luxury--his
+revolutions
+
+God may have sent him to purgatory just
+for form's sake
+
+Great difference between dearly and
+very much
+
+Had not told all--one never does tell
+all
+
+He led the brilliant and miserable
+existence of the unoccupied
+
+If there is one! (a paradise)
+
+In order to make money, the first thing
+is to have no need of it
+
+Love and tranquillity seldom dwell at
+peace in the same heart
+
+Never foolish to spend money.  The
+folly lies in keeping it
+
+Often been compared to Eugene Sue, but
+his touch is lighter
+
+One half of his life belonged to the
+poor
+
+One may think of marrying, but one
+ought not to try to marry
+
+Succeeded in wearying him by her
+importunities and tenderness
+
+The women have enough religion for the

+
+The history of good people is often

+To learn to obey is the only way of

+CHRYSANTHEME, By Pierre Loti
+
+
+
+Ah! the natural perversity of inanimate
+things
+
+Contemptuous pity, both for my
+suspicions and the cause of them
+
+Dull hours spent in idle and diffuse
+conversation
+
+Efforts to arrange matters we succeed
+often only in disarranging
+
+Found nothing that answered to my
+indefinable expectations
+
+Habit turns into a makeshift of
+attachment
+
+I know not what lost home that I have
+failed to find
+
+Irritating laugh which is peculiar to
+Japan
+
+Japanese habit of expressing myself
+with excessive politeness
+
+Ordinary, trivial, every-day objects
+
+Prayers swallowed like pills by
+invalids at a distance
+
+Seeking for a change which can no
+longer be found
+
+Trees, dwarfed by a Japanese process
+
+When the inattentive spirits are not
+listening
+
+Which I should find amusing in any one
+else,--any one I loved

+
+CONSCIENCE, By Hector Malot
+
+
+
+As ignorant as a schoolmaster
+
+As free from prejudices as one may be,
+one always retains a few
+
+Confidence in one's self is strength,
+but it is also weakness
+
+Conscience is a bad weighing-machine
+
+Conscience is only an affair of
+environment and of education
+
+Find it more easy to make myself feared
+than loved
+
+For the rest of his life he would be
+the prisoner of his crime
+
+Force, which is the last word of the
+philosophy of life
+
+He did not sleep, so much the better!
+He would work more
+
+I believed in the virtue of work, and
+look at me!
+
+In his eyes everything was decided by
+luck
+
+Intelligent persons have no remorse
+
+It is the first crime that costs
+
+It is only those who own something who
+worry about the price
+
+Leant--and when I did not lose my
+friends I lost my money
+
+Leisure must be had for light reading,
+and even more for love
+
+Looking for a needle in a bundle of hay
+
+Neither so simple nor so easy as they
+at first appeared
+
+One does not judge those whom one loves
+
+People whose principle was never to pay
+a doctor
+
+Power to work, that was never disturbed
+or weakened by anything
+
+Reason before the deed, and not after
+
+Repeated and explained what he had
+already said and explained
+
+She could not bear contempt
+
+The strong walk alone because they need
+no one
+
+We are so unhappy that our souls are
+weak against joy
+
+We weep, we do not complain
+
+Will not admit that conscience is the
+proper guide of our action
+
+You love me, therefore you do not know
+me
+
+
+
+
+ZIBELINE, By Phillipe de Massa
+
+
+
+All that was illogical in our social
+code
+
+Ambiguity has no place, nor has
+compromise
+
+But if this is our supreme farewell,
+do not tell me so!
+
+Chain so light yesterday, so heavy
+to-day
+
+Every man is his own master in his
+choice of liaisons
+
+If I do not give all I give nothing
+
+Indulgence of which they stand in need
+themselves
+
+Life goes on, and that is less gay than
+the stories
+
+Men admired her; the women sought some
+point to criticise
+
+Only a man, wavering and changeable
+
+Ostensibly you sit at the feast without
+paying the cost
+
+Paris has become like a little country
+town in its gossip
+
+The night brings counsel
+
+Their Christian charity did not extend
+so far as that
+
+There are mountains that we never climb
+but once
+
+You are in a conquered country, which
+is still more dangerous
+
+
+
+
+THE CHILD OF A CENTURY, By Alfred de Musset
+
+
+
+A terrible danger lurks in the
+knowledge of what is possible
+
+Accustomed to call its disguise virtue
+
+Adieu, my son, I love you and I die
+
+All philosophy is akin to atheism
+
+All that is not life, it is the noise
+of life
+
+And when love is sure of itself and
+knows response
+
+Because you weep, you fondly imagine
+yourself innocent
+
+Become corrupt, and you will cease to
+suffer
+
+Began to forget my own sorrow in my
+sympathy for her
+
+Beware of disgust, it is an incurable
+evil
+
+Can any one prevent a gossip
+
+Cold silence, that negative force
+
+Contrive to use proud disdain as a
+shield
+
+Death is more to be desired than a
+living distaste for life
+
+Despair of a man sick of life, or the
+whim of a spoiled child
+
+Do they think they have invented what
+they see
+
+Each one knows what the other is about
+to say
+
+Fool who destroys his own happiness
+
+Force itself, that mistress of the
+world
+
+Funeral processions are no longer
+permitted
+
+Galileo struck the earth, crying:
+"Nevertheless it moves!"
+
+Good and bad days succeeded each other
+almost regularly
+
+Great sorrows neither accuse nor
+blaspheme--they listen
+
+Grief itself was for her but a means of
+seducing
+
+Happiness of being pursued
+
+He who is loved by a beautiful woman is
+sheltered from every blow
+
+He lives only in the body
+
+How much they desire to be loved who
+say they love no more
+
+Human weakness seeks association
+
+I can not be near you and separated
+from you at the same moment
+
+I can not love her, I can not love
+another
+
+I boasted of being worse than I really
+was
+
+I neither love nor esteem sadness
+
+I do not intend either to boast or
+abase myself
+
+Ignorance into which the Greek clergy
+plunged the laity
+
+In what do you believe?
+
+Indignation can solace grief and
+restore happiness
+
+Is he a dwarf or a giant
+
+Is it not enough to have lived?
+
+It is a pity that you must seek
+pastimes
+
+Make a shroud of your virtue in which
+to bury your crimes
+
+Man who suffers wishes to make her whom
+he loves suffer
+
+Men doubted everything: the young men
+denied everything
+
+No longer esteemed her highly enough to
+be jealous of her
+
+Of all the sisters of love, the most
+beautiful is pity
+
+Perfection does not exist
+
+Pure caprice that I myself mistook for
+a flash of reason
+
+Quarrel had been, so to speak, less sad
+than our reconciliation
+
+Reading the Memoirs of Constant
+
+Resorted to exaggeration in order to
+appear original
+
+Sceptic regrets the faith he has lost
+the power to regain
+
+Seven  who are always the same: the
+first is called hope
+
+She pretended to hope for the best
+
+Sometimes we seem to enjoy unhappiness
+
+"Speak to me of your love," she said,
+"not of your grief"
+
+St. Augustine
+
+Suffered, and yet took pleasure in it
+
+Suspicions that are ever born anew
+
+Terrible words; I deserve them, but
+they will kill me
+
+There are two different men in you
+
+Ticking of which (our arteries) can be
+heard only at night
+
+"Unhappy man!"  she cried, "you will
+never know how to love"
+
+We have had a mass celebrated, and it
+cost us a large sum
+
+What you take for love is nothing more
+than desire
+
+What human word will ever express thy
+slightest caress
+
+When passion sways man, reason follows
+him weeping and warning
+
+Who has told you that tears can wash
+away the stains of guilt
+
+Wine suffuses the face as if to prevent
+shame appearing there
+
+You believe in what is said here below
+and not in what is done
+
+You play with happiness as a child
+plays with a rattle
+
+You turn the leaves of dead books
+
+Your great weapon is silence
+
+Youth is to judge of the world from
+first impressions
+
+
+
+
+SERGE PANINE, By George Ohnet
+
+
+
+A man weeps with difficulty before a woman
+
+A uniform is the only garb which can hide
+poverty honorably
+
+Antagonism to plutocracy and hatred of
+aristocrats
+
+Because they moved, they thought they were
+progressing
+
+Cowardly in trouble as he had been insolent
+in prosperity
+
+Enough to be nobody's unless I belong to him
+
+Even those who do not love her desire to
+know her
+
+Everywhere was feverish excitement, dissipation,
+and nullity
+
+Flayed and roasted alive by the critics
+
+Forget a dream and accept a reality
+
+Hard workers are pitiful lovers
+
+He lost his time, his money, his hair, his
+illusions
+
+He was very unhappy at being misunderstood
+
+Heed that you lose not in dignity what you gain
+in revenge
+
+I thought the best means of being loved were
+to deserve it
+
+I don't pay myself with words
+
+Implacable self-interest which is the law of
+the world
+
+In life it is only nonsense that is
+common-sense
+
+Is a man ever poor when he has two arms?
+
+Is it by law only that you wish to keep me?
+
+It was a relief when they rose from the table
+
+Men of pleasure remain all their lives
+mediocre workers
+
+Money troubles are not mortal
+
+My aunt is jealous of me because I am a
+man of ideas
+
+Negroes, all but monkeys!
+
+Nothing that provokes laughter more than a
+disappointed lover
+
+One amuses one's self at the risk of dying
+
+Patience, should he encounter a dull page
+here or there
+
+Romanticism still ferments beneath the
+varnish of Naturalism
+
+Sacrifice his artistic leanings to popular
+caprice
+
+Scarcely was one scheme launched when another
+idea occurred
+
+She would have liked the world to be in mourning
+
+Suffering is a human law; the world is an arena
+
+Talk with me sometimes.  You will not chatter
+trivialities
+
+The guilty will not feel your blows, but the
+innocent
+
+The uncontested power which money brings
+
+They had only one aim, one passion--to enjoy
+themselves
+
+Unqualified for happiness
+
+We had taken the dream of a day for eternal
+happiness
+
+What is a man who remains useless
+
+Without a care or a cross, he grew weary
+like a prisoner
+
+You are talking too much about it to be
+sincere
+
+
+
+
+AN "ATTIC" PHILOSOPHER, By Emile Souvestre
+
+
+
+Always to mistake feeling for evidence
+
+Ambroise Pare: 'I tend him, God cures
+him!'
+
+Are we then bound to others only by the
+enforcement of laws
+
+Attach a sense of remorse to each of my
+pleasures
+
+Brought them up to poverty
+
+But above these ruins rises a calm and
+happy face
+
+Carn-ival means, literally, "farewell
+to flesh!"
+
+Coffee is the grand work of a
+bachelor's housekeeping
+
+Contemptuous pride of knowledge
+
+Death, that faithful friend of the
+wretched
+
+Defeat and victory only displace each
+other by turns
+
+Did not think the world was so great
+
+Do they understand what makes them so
+gay?
+
+Each of us regards himself as the
+mirror of the community
+
+Ease with which the poor forget their
+wretchedness
+
+Every one keeps his holidays in his own
+way
+
+Fame and power are gifts that are
+dearly bought
+
+Favorite and conclusive answer of his
+class--"I know"
+
+Fear of losing a moment from business
+
+Finishes his sin thoroughly before he
+begins to repent
+
+Fortune sells what we believe she gives
+
+Her kindness, which never sleeps
+
+Houses are vessels which take mere
+passengers
+
+Hubbub of questions which waited for no
+reply
+
+I make it a rule never to have any hope
+
+Ignorant of what there is to wish for
+
+Looks on an accomplished duty neither
+as a merit nor a grievance
+
+Make himself a name:  he becomes public
+property
+
+Moderation is the great social virtue
+
+More stir than work
+
+My patronage has become her property
+
+No one is so unhappy as to have nothing
+to give
+
+Not desirous to teach goodness
+
+Nothing is dishonorable which is useful
+
+Our tempers are like an opera-glass
+
+Poverty, you see, is a famous
+schoolmistress
+
+Power of necessity
+
+Prisoners of work
+
+Progress can never be forced on without
+danger
+
+Question is not to discover what will
+suit us
+
+Richer than France herself, for I have
+no deficit in my budget
+
+Ruining myself, but we must all have
+our Carnival
+
+Satisfy our wants, if we know how to
+set bounds to them
+
+Sensible man, who has observed much and
+speaks little
+
+So much confidence at first, so much
+doubt at las
+
+Sullen tempers are excited by the
+patience of their victims
+
+The happiness of the wise man costs but
+little
+
+The man in power gives up his peace
+
+Two thirds of human existence are
+wasted in hesitation
+
+Virtue made friends, but she did not
+take pupils
+
+We do not understand that others may
+live on their own account
+
+We are not bound to live, while we are
+bound to do our duty
+
+What have you done with the days God
+granted you
+
+What a small dwelling joy can live
+
+You may know the game by the lair

+
+A WOODLAND QUEEN, By Andre Theuriet
+
+
+
+Accustomed to hide what I think
+
+Amusements they offered were either
+wearisome or repugnant
+
+Consoled himself with one of the pious
+commonplaces
+
+Dreaded the monotonous regularity of
+conjugal life
+
+Fawning duplicity
+
+Had not been spoiled by Fortune's gifts
+
+How small a space man occupies on the
+earth
+
+Hypocritical grievances
+
+I am not in the habit of consulting the
+law
+
+I measure others by myself
+
+It does not mend matters to give way
+like that
+
+Like all timid persons, he took refuge
+in a moody silence
+
+More disposed to discover evil than
+good
+
+Nature's cold indifference to our
+sufferings
+
+Never is perfect happiness our lot
+
+Opposing his orders with steady,
+irritating inertia
+
+Others found delight in the most
+ordinary amusements
+
+Plead the lie to get at the truth
+
+Sensitiveness and disposition to
+self-blame
+
+The ease with which he is forgotten
+
+There are some men who never have had
+any childhood
+
+Those who have outlived their illusions
+
+Timidity of a night-bird that is made
+to fly in the day
+
+To make a will  is to put one foot into
+the grave
+
+Toast and white wine (for breakfast)
+
+Vague hope came over him that all would
+come right
+
+Vexed, act in direct contradiction to
+their own wishes
+
+Women: they are more bitter than death
+
+Yield to their customs, and not
+pooh-pooh their amusements
+
+You have considerable patience for a
+lover
+
+You must be pleased with yourself--that
+is more essential

+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+Skilful actor, who apes all the

+Surprise goes for so much in what we

+
+The very smell of books is improving
+
+The looks of the young are always full

+
+There are some blunders that are lucky;
+but you can't tell
+
+To be your own guide doubles your

+
+Egotists and cowards always have a

+
+Eternally condemned to kill each other
+in order to live

+Inoffensive tree which never had harmed

+Intimate friend, whom he has known for

+Mild, unpretentious men who let

+My good fellow, you are quite worthless

+troubled!
+
+Not more honest than necessary

+Poor France of Jeanne d'Arc and of

+Upon my word, there are no ugly ones

+As ignorant as a schoolmaster
+
+As free from prejudices as one may be,
+one always retains a few
+
+Confidence in one's self is strength,
+but it is also weakness
+
+Conscience is a bad weighing-machine
+
+Conscience is only an affair of
+environment and of education
+
+Find it more easy to make myself feared
+than loved
+
+For the rest of his life he would be
+the prisoner of his crime
+
+Force, which is the last word of the
+philosophy of life
+
+He did not sleep, so much the better!
+He would work more
+
+I believed in the virtue of work, and
+look at me!
+
+In his eyes everything was decided by
+luck
+
+Intelligent persons have no remorse
+
+It is the first crime that costs
+
+It is only those who own something who
+worry about the price
+
+Leant&mdash;and when I did not lose my
+friends I lost my money
+
+Leisure must be had for light reading,
+and even more for love
+
+Looking for a needle in a bundle of hay
+
+Neither so simple nor so easy as they
+at first appeared
+
+One does not judge those whom one loves
+
+People whose principle was never to pay
+a doctor
+
+Power to work, that was never disturbed
+or weakened by anything
+
+Reason before the deed, and not after
+
+Repeated and explained what he had
+already said and explained
+
+She could not bear contempt
+
+The strong walk alone because they need
+no one
+
+We are so unhappy that our souls are
+weak against joy
+
+We weep, we do not complain
+
+Will not admit that conscience is the
+proper guide of our action
+
+You love me, therefore you do not know
+me

+A terrible danger lurks in the
+knowledge of what is possible
+
+Accustomed to call its disguise virtue
+
+Adieu, my son, I love you and I die
+
+All philosophy is akin to atheism
+
+All that is not life, it is the noise
+of life
+
+And when love is sure of itself and
+knows response
+
+Because you weep, you fondly imagine
+yourself innocent
+
+Become corrupt, and you will cease to
+suffer
+
+Began to forget my own sorrow in my
+sympathy for her
+
+Beware of disgust, it is an incurable
+evil
+
+Can any one prevent a gossip
+
+Cold silence, that negative force
+
+Contrive to use proud disdain as a
+shield
+
+Death is more to be desired than a
+living distaste for life
+
+Despair of a man sick of life, or the
+whim of a spoiled child
+
+Do they think they have invented what
+they see
+
+Each one knows what the other is about
+to say
+
+Fool who destroys his own happiness
+
+Force itself, that mistress of the
+world
+
+Funeral processions are no longer
+permitted
+
+Galileo struck the earth, crying:
+"Nevertheless it moves!"
+
+Good and bad days succeeded each other
+almost regularly
+
+Great sorrows neither accuse nor
+blaspheme&mdash;they listen
+
+Grief itself was for her but a means of
+seducing
+
+Happiness of being pursued
+
+He who is loved by a beautiful woman is
+sheltered from every blow
+
+He lives only in the body
+
+How much they desire to be loved who
+say they love no more
+
+Human weakness seeks association
+
+I can not be near you and separated
+from you at the same moment
+
+I can not love her, I can not love
+another
+
+I boasted of being worse than I really
+was
+
+I neither love nor esteem sadness
+
+I do not intend either to boast or
+abase myself
+
+Ignorance into which the Greek clergy
+plunged the laity
+
+In what do you believe?
+
+Indignation can solace grief and
+restore happiness
+
+Is he a dwarf or a giant
+
+Is it not enough to have lived?
+
+It is a pity that you must seek
+pastimes
+
+Make a shroud of your virtue in which
+to bury your crimes
+
+Man who suffers wishes to make her whom
+he loves suffer
+
+Men doubted everything: the young men
+denied everything
+
+No longer esteemed her highly enough to
+be jealous of her
+
+Of all the sisters of love, the most
+beautiful is pity
+
+Perfection does not exist
+
+Pure caprice that I myself mistook for
+a flash of reason
+
+Quarrel had been, so to speak, less sad
+than our reconciliation
+
+Reading the Memoirs of Constant
+
+Resorted to exaggeration in order to
+appear original
+
+Sceptic regrets the faith he has lost
+the power to regain
+
+Seven  who are always the same: the
+first is called hope
+
+She pretended to hope for the best
+
+Sometimes we seem to enjoy unhappiness
+
+"Speak to me of your love," she said,
+"not of your grief"
+
+St. Augustine
+
+Suffered, and yet took pleasure in it
+
+Suspicions that are ever born anew
+
+Terrible words; I deserve them, but
+they will kill me
+
+There are two different men in you
+
+Ticking of which (our arteries) can be
+heard only at night
+
+"Unhappy man!"  she cried, "you will
+never know how to love"
+
+We have had a mass celebrated, and it
+cost us a large sum
+
+What you take for love is nothing more
+than desire
+
+What human word will ever express thy
+slightest caress
+
+When passion sways man, reason follows
+him weeping and warning
+
+Who has told you that tears can wash
+away the stains of guilt
+
+Wine suffuses the face as if to prevent
+shame appearing there
+
+You believe in what is said here below
+and not in what is done
+
+You play with happiness as a child
+plays with a rattle
+
+You turn the leaves of dead books
+
+Your great weapon is silence
+
+Youth is to judge of the world from
+first impressions

+A man weeps with difficulty before a woman
+
+A uniform is the only garb which can hide

+
+Antagonism to plutocracy and hatred of

+
+Because they moved, they thought they were
+progressing
+
+Cowardly in trouble as he had been insolent
+in prosperity
+
+Enough to be nobody's unless I belong to him
+
+Even those who do not love her desire to

+Flayed and roasted alive by the critics

+Hard workers are pitiful lovers

+He lost his time, his money, his hair, his

+
+He was very unhappy at being misunderstood
+
+Heed that you lose not in dignity what you gain
+in revenge
+
+I thought the best means of being loved were
+to deserve it
+
+I don't pay myself with words
+
+Implacable self-interest which is the law of

+
+In life it is only nonsense that is
+common-sense
+
+Is a man ever poor when he has two arms?
+
+Is it by law only that you wish to keep me?
+
+It was a relief when they rose from the table
+
+Men of pleasure remain all their lives
+mediocre workers
+
+Money troubles are not mortal
+
+My aunt is jealous of me because I am a
+man of ideas
+
+Negroes, all but monkeys!
+
+Nothing that provokes laughter more than a
+disappointed lover
+
+One amuses one's self at the risk of dying
+
+Patience, should he encounter a dull page
+here or there
+
+Romanticism still ferments beneath the
+varnish of Naturalism
+
+Sacrifice his artistic leanings to popular
+caprice
+
+Scarcely was one scheme launched when another
+idea occurred
+
+She would have liked the world to be in mourning
+
+Suffering is a human law; the world is an arena
+
+Talk with me sometimes.  You will not chatter
+trivialities
+
+The guilty will not feel your blows, but the
+innocent
+
+The uncontested power which money brings
+
+They had only one aim, one passion&mdash;to enjoy
+themselves
+
+Unqualified for happiness
+
+We had taken the dream of a day for eternal
+happiness
+
+What is a man who remains useless
+
+Without a care or a cross, he grew weary

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
