Quotations, French -- Translations into English
For the rest of his life he would be the prisoner of his crime
In his eyes everything was decided by luck
Looking for a needle in a bundle of hay
Neither so simple nor so easy as they at first appeared
CONSCIENCE BY HECTOR MALOT, V3
[IM#75][im75b10.txt]3988
It is the first crime that costs
Repeated and explained what he had already said and explained
You love me, therefore you do not know me
CONSCIENCE BY HECTOR MALOT, V4
[IM#76][im76b10.txt]3989
He did not sleep, so much the better! He would work more
One does not judge those whom one loves
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
THE ENTIRE CONSCIENCE BY HECTOR MALOT
[IM#77][im77b10.txt]3990
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
MADAME CHRYSANTHEME BY PIERRE LOTI
MADAME CHRYSANTHEME BY PIERRE LOTI, V1
[IM#78][im78b10.txt]3991
Efforts to arrange matters we succeed often only in disarranging
Irritating laugh which is peculiar to Japan
Ordinary, trivial, every-day objects
Seeking for a change which can no longer be found
MADAME CHRYSANTHEME BY PIERRE LOTI, V2
[IM#79][im79b10.txt]3992
Ah! the natural perversity of inanimate things
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
When the inattentive spirits are not listening
MADAME CHRYSANTHEME BY PIERRE LOTI, V3
