[Gutenberg 7549] • Quotes and Images From The Short Stories of Maupassant

SHORT STORIES VOLUME I.

Anguish of suspense made men even desire the arrival of enemies

Dependent, like other emotions, on surroundings

Devouring faith which is the making of martyrs and visionaries

Freemasonry made up of those who possess

Great ones of this world who make war

I am learning my trade

Insolent like all in authority

Legitimized love always despises its easygoing brother

Like all women, being very fond of indigestible things

Presence of a woman, that sovereign inspiration

Spirit of order and arithmetic in the business house

Subtleties of expression to describe the most improper things

Thin veneer of modesty of every woman

Thrill of furious and bestial anger which urges on a mob to massacre
