Quote by Guy de Maupassant

“Elle aussi l'avait trouvé gentil ; et c'est uniquement pour cela qu'elle s'était donnée, liée pour la vie, qu'elle avait renoncé à toute autre espérance, à tous les projets entrevus, à tout l'inconnu de demain. Elle était tombée dans le mariage, dans ce trou sans bord pour remonter dans cette misère, dans cette tristesse, dans ce désespoir, parceque, comme Rosalie, elle l'avait trouvé gentil!”

“Caminhar, quando se está triste, até que os sapatos incomodem, é uma daquelas iniciativas que a levam à força para fora de você, no mundo; que freiam a espiral dos pensamentos e fazem você se sentir antes de tudo livre, depois exausta. Dois antídotos para tristeza, não infalíveis, mas úteis, são o sentimento da liberdade e o da exaustão; a tristeza, para se sustentar e durar, requer espaços fechados, sufocantes, e energia. Como os vampiros, ela também teme a luz do sol.”

“I suppose the fundamental distinction between Shakespeare and myself is one of treatment. We get our effects differently. Take the familiar farcical situation of someone who suddenly discovers that something unpleasant is standing behind them. Here is how Shakespeare handles it in "The Winter's Tale," Act 3, Scene 3: ANTIGONUS: Farewell! A lullaby too rough. I never saw the heavens so dim by day. A savage clamour! Well may I get aboard! This is the chase: I am gone for ever. And then comes literature's most famous stage direction, "Exit pursued by a bear." All well and good, but here's the way I would handle it: BERTIE: Touch of indigestion, Jeeves? JEEVES: No, Sir. BERTIE: Then why is your tummy rumbling? JEEVES: Pardon me, Sir, the noise to which you allude does not emanate from my interior but from that of that animal that has just joined us. BERTIE: Animal? What animal? JEEVES: A bear, Sir. If you will turn your head, you will observe that a bear is standing in your immediate rear inspecting you in a somewhat menacing manner. BERTIE (as narrator): I pivoted the loaf. The honest fellow was perfectly correct. It was a bear. And not a small bear, either. One of the large economy size. Its eye was bleak and it gnashed a tooth or two, and I could see at a g. that it was going to be difficult for me to find a formula. "Advise me, Jeeves," I yipped. "What do I do for the best?" JEEVES: I fancy it might be judicious if you were to make an exit, Sir. BERTIE (narrator): No sooner s. than d. I streaked for the horizon, closely followed across country by the dumb chum. And that, boys and girls, is how your grandfather clipped six seconds off Roger Bannister's mile. Who can say which method is superior?" (As reproduced in Plum, Shakespeare and the Cat Chap )”
