Author of quotes: Guy De Maupassant. Page 16

We are the eternal toys of all recurring illusions, meaningless and charming.

Religion - all one - absurd: their morals are designed for children, their promises monstrously selfish and stupid.

Life, whatever you say, not so good, but not as bad as you think.

Creation is fraught with all the germs: the thought and life developed in it, like flowers and fruit trees.

Nothing is even worse when we, as elders, begin to shake up our youth.
(Nothing is more terrible how old age to experience in my youth.)

Fools and haters are found everywhere.

Understand me well. Marriage for me is not a chain, but a cooperation. This means that I have complete freedom of action that I don't have to account for their actions, don't have to tell where I'm going. I can't stand no tails, no jealousy, no morals. Of course, I agree not to compromise the man, whose name I will wear, not to put him in a false and ridiculous. But even he sees in me a servant, humble and obedient wife, but ally, his equal in everything. I know that my views might seem too bold, but I will not back down. That's all.

Wait: in a few years and you will be the same. ... At your age we all had fun. We were all hopeful that, by the way, never come to pass. At my age one no longer expects anything... except death.

Dear friend, a man in love ceases to exist for me. He becomes stupid, more than that: it becomes a threat. With those who love me as a woman or pretending to be in love, I'm breaking up all relations, first, because they get bored, and secondly, because I'm afraid of them, like mad dogs, who are always ready to pounce. I question their moral quarantine as long as they do not cure. Remember that. I know perfectly well that for you love is like a hunger, but for me it is something like a spiritual connection, which does not believe men. Are you satisfied with the forms of its manifestation, and spirit is important to me.

The illusion of his sometimes mourn bitterly as dead.

Life is a mountain. While climbing, look up, and you're happy, but only managed to get to the top, as it begins the descent, and ahead of the death. Climb slowly and descend quickly.
