I can not be near you and separated from you at the same moment
Is it not enough to have lived?
Make a shroud of your virtue in which to bury your crimes
Reading the Memoirs of Constant
Sometimes we seem to enjoy unhappiness
Speak to me of your love, she said, “not of your grief”
Suffered, and yet took pleasure in it
Suspicions that are ever born anew
“Unhappy man!” she cried, “you will never know how to love”
Who has told you that tears can wash away the stains of guilt
You play with happiness as a child plays with a rattle
Your great weapon is silence
ETEXT editor’s bookmarks of the entire child of A century:
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
