Newton, Pascal, Bossuet, Racine, F?nelon
that is to say, some of the most enlightened men on earth, in the most philosophical of all ages
have been believers in Jesus Christ; and the great Cond?, when dying, repeated these noble words, "Yes, I shall see God as He is, face to face!". ~ Luc De Clapiers
Mellies Racine quotes by Luc De Clapiers
A noble heart cannot suspect in others the pettiness and malice that it has never felt. ~ Jean Racine

Pain is unjust, and all the arguments That cannot soothe it only rouse suspicion. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Beckett despite his professed preference for Racine, is master and victim, and as such pervades Beckett's canonical drama, Endgame. Beckett's Hamlet follows the French model, in which excessive consciousness negates action, which is at some distance from Shakespeare's Hamlet. ~ Harold Bloom
Mellies Racine quotes by Harold Bloom
Is a faith without action a sincere faith? ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
My Dolphin, you only guide me by surprise,
a captive as Racine, the man of craft,
drawn through his maze of iron composition
by the incomparable wandering voice of Phèdre.
When I was troubled in mind, you made for my body
caught in its hangman's-knot of sinking lines,
the glassy bowing and scraping of my will. . . .
I have sat and listened to too many
words of the collaborating muse,
and plotted perhaps too freely with my life,
not avoiding injury to others,
not avoiding injury to myself--
to ask compassion . . . this book, half fiction,
an eelnet made by man for the eel fighting

my eyes have seen what my hand did. ~ Robert Lowell
Mellies Racine quotes by Robert Lowell
Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare. ~ Horace Walpole
Mellies Racine quotes by Horace Walpole
A benefit cited by way of reproach is equivalent to an injury. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
There may be guilt when there is too much virtue. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
The feeling of mistrust is always the last which a great mind acquires. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
We are all women you assure me? Then I may tell you that the very next words I read were these – 'Chloe liked Olivia …' Do not start. Do not blush. Let us admit in the privacy of our own society that these things sometimes happen. Sometimes women do like women. 'Chloe liked Olivia,' I read. And then it struck me how immense a change was there. Chloe liked Olivia perhaps for the first time in literature. Cleopatra did not like Octavia. And how completely Antony and Cleopatra would have been altered had she done so! As it is, I thought, letting my mind, I am afraid, wander a little from Life's Adventure, the whole thing is simplified, conventionalized, if one dared say it, absurdly. Cleopatra's only feeling about Octavia is one of jealousy. Is she taller than I am? How does she do her hair? The play, perhaps, required no more. But how interesting it would have been if the relationship between the two women had been more complicated. All these relationships between women, I thought, rapidly recalling the splendid gallery of fictitious women, are too simple. So much has been left out, unattempted. And I tried to remember any case in the course of my reading where two women are represented as friends. There is an attempt at it in Diana of the Crossways. They are confidantes, of course, in Racine and the Greek tragedies. They are now and then mothers and daughters. But almost without exception they are shown in their relation to men. ~ Virginia Woolf
Mellies Racine quotes by Virginia Woolf
Stendhal knows the source of his greatest happiness and his worst misery: the reflexivity of his spiritual life. When he loves, enjoys beauty, feels free and unconstrained, he realizes not only the bliss of these feelings but, at the same time, the happiness of being aware of this happiness. But now that he ought to be completely absorbed by his happiness and feel redeemed from all his limitations and inadequacies, he is still full of problems and doubts: Is that the whole story? - he asks himself. Is that what they call love? Is it possible to love, to feel, to be delighted and yet to observe oneself so coolly and so calmly? Stendhal's answer is by no means the usual one, which assumes the existence of an insurmountable gulf between feeling and reason, passion and reflexion, love and ambition, but is based on the assumption that modern man simply feels differently, is enraptured and enthusiastic differently from a contemporary of Racine or Rousseau. For them, spontaneity and reflexivity of the emotions were incompatible, for Stendhal and his heroes they are quite inseparable; none of their passions is so strong as the desire to be constantly calling themselves to account for what is going on inside them. Compared with the older literature, this self consciousness implies just as profound a change as Stendhal's realism, and the overcoming of classical-romantic psychology is just as strictly one of the preconditions of his art as the abolition of the alternative between the ro ~ Arnold Hauser
Mellies Racine quotes by Arnold Hauser
A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
People take England on trust, and repeat that Shakespeare is the greatest of all authors. I have read him: there is nothing that compares Racine or Corneille: his plays are unreadable, pitiful. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Mellies Racine quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Wrinkles on the brow are the imprints of exploits. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Many of them were familiar from childhood with the fables of La Fontaine. Or they had read Voltaire or Racine or Molière in English translations. But that was about the sum of any familiarity they had with French literature. And none, of course, could have known in advance that the 1830s and '40s in Paris were to mark the beginning of the great era of Victor Hugo, Balzac, George Sand, and Baudelaire, not to say anything of Delacroix in painting or Chopin and Liszt in music. ~ David McCullough
Mellies Racine quotes by David McCullough
Hate your haters, then you are no different
from them. ~ Racine Bamwanya
Mellies Racine quotes by Racine Bamwanya
I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Disagreeable suspicions are usually the fruits of a second marriage. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine. ~ Paul Cezanne
Mellies Racine quotes by Paul Cezanne
There are no secrets that time does not reveal. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Extreme justice is often injustice. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
It is a commonplace that Racine is untranslatable. This is not because his verse is difficult, but because it is not. ~ Kenneth Rexroth
Mellies Racine quotes by Kenneth Rexroth
Do not they bring it to pass by knowing that they know nothing at all? ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
He who laughs on Friday will weep on Sunday. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, "Were he living I would make him a king;" but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Mellies Racine quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Sun, I come to see you for the last time. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
[Corneille] was inspired by Roman authors and Roman spirit, Racine with delicacy by the polished court of Louis XIV. ~ Horace Walpole
Mellies Racine quotes by Horace Walpole
Twas easier to disarm the god of strength
Than this Hippolytus, for Hercules
Yielded so often to the eyes of beauty,
As to make triumph cheap.
― Jean Racine, Phèdre ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
And do you count for nothing God who fights for us? ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Have there ever been more submissive slaves? Adoring, even in their irons, the God who punishes them. ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
How good is God! How sweet his yoke! ~ Jean Racine
Mellies Racine quotes by Jean Racine
Often it is fatal to live too long. ~ Jean Racine
