If God exists, Id be the first to be told. ~ Anna De Noailles
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Anna De Noailles
Narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficially over others. ~ Honore De Balzac
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Honore De Balzac
The public is composed of numerous groups whose cry to us writers is: 'Comfort me.' 'Amuse me.' 'Touch my sympathies.' 'Make me sad.' 'Make me dream.' 'Make me laugh.' 'Make me shiver.' 'Make me weep.' 'Make me think.' ~ Guy De Maupassant
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Guy De Maupassant
There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Art cannot single-handedly create enthusiasm, nor does it arise from sentiments of which nonartists are devoid; it merely contributes to enthusiasm and guides us to be more conscious of feelings that we might previously have experienced only tentatively or hurriedly. ~ Alain De Botton
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Alain De Botton
I'm not laughing, and I'm not running. I wont lie either. You're a chilling sight to behold. I've had nightmares of monsters prettier than you." She stepped closer and raised her other hand to thread her fingers through his hair. This time he didn't flinch away. "But you're still you under all this flux nonsense. Only a fool of a woman would run from such an extraordinary man, and I am no fool, Ballard de Sauveterre. ~ Grace Draven
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Grace Draven
There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The better the actor, the less you know about his life. I mean, nobody's better than De Niro and you don't know anything about him, right? ~ Matt Damon
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Matt Damon
In hell there is no retention. ~ Miguel De Cervantes
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Miguel De Cervantes
Habit, to which all of us are more or less slaves. ~ Jean De La Fontaine
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Jean De La Fontaine
He stabbed into her, driving deeply, repeatedly, iron-hard and demanding. She welcomed the piercing pleasure of his urgency, opening her legs wider, pushing her skirts away and wrapping her legs about him. His thrusts pushed her roughly against the table, but she rose to meet each one, clinging to him at the hip, grinding her own need to match his. Her fingers clawed at his buttocks, gripping him to her, pushing herself against him, devouring him.

The Gentlemen's Club ~ Emmanuelle De Maupassant
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Emmanuelle De Maupassant
Heartache may be bad for the soul, but it's great for bookshops. It's when we are at our lowest romantic ebb that we are likely to do the bulk of our life's reading. Adolescents who can't get a date are in a uniquely privileged position: they will have the perfect chance to get grounding in world literature. There is perhaps an important connection between love and reading, there is perhaps a comparable pleasure offered by both.

A feeling of connection may be at the root of it. There are books that speak to us, no less eloquently - but more reliably - than our lovers. They prevent the morose suspicion that we do not fully belong to the human species, that we lie beyond comprehension. Our embarrassments, our sulks, our feelings of guilt, these phenomena may be conveyed on a page in a way that affords us with a sense of self-recognition. The author has located words to depict a situation we thought ourselves alone in feeling, and for a few moments, we are like two lovers on an early dinner date thrilled to discover how much they share (and unable to touch much of the seafood linguine in front of them, so busy are they fathoming the eyes opposite), we may place the book down for a second and stare at its spine with a wry smile, as if to say, "How lucky I ran into you. ~ Alain De Botton
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Alain De Botton
For the benefit of your research people, I would like to mention (so as to avoid any duplication of labor): that the planet is very like Mars; that at least seventeen states have Pinedales; that the end of the top paragraph Galley 3 is an allusion to the famous "canals" (or, more correctly, "channels") of Schiaparelli (and Percival Lowell); that I have thoroughly studied the habits of chinchillas; that Charrete is old French and should have one "t"; that Boke's source on Galley 9 is accurate; that "Lancelotik" is not a Celtic diminutive but a Slavic one; that "Betelgeuze" is correctly spelled with a "z", not an "s" as some dictionaries have it; that the "Indigo" Knight is the result of some of my own research; that Sir Grummore, mentioned both in Le Morte Darthur ad in Amadis de Gaul, was a Scotsman; that L'Eau Grise is a scholarly pun; and that neither bludgeons nor blandishments will make me give up the word "hobnailnobbing". ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Restructuring is a favorite tactic of antisocials who have reached a senior position in an organization. The chaos that results is an ideal smokescreen for dysfunctional leadership. Failure at the top goes unnoticed, while the process of restructuring creates the illusion of a strong, creative hand on the helm. ~ Manfred F.R. Kets De Vries
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Manfred F.R. Kets De Vries
True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived ... ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. ~ Germaine De Stael
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Germaine De Stael
There is in the garden a plant which one ought to leave dry, although most people water it. It is the weed called Envy. ~ Cosimo De' Medici
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Cosimo De' Medici
As long as men are liable to die and are desirous to live, a physician will be made fun of, but he will be well paid. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
The most famous Diophantine equation in history is the one known as Fermat's last Theorem, the celebrated statement by Pierre de Fermat (1601-55) that there are no whole number solutions to the equation x^n + y^n = z^n, where n is any number greater than 2. When n = 2, there are many solutions (in fact an infinite number). For instance, 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 (9 + 16 = 25); or 12^2 +5^2 = 13^2 (144 + 25 = 169). Miraculously, when we go from n = 2 to n = 3, there are no whole numbers x,y,z that satisfy x^3 + y^3 = z^3, and the same is true for any other value of n that is greater than 2. Appropriately, it was in the margin of the second book of Diophantus's Arithmetica, which Fermat was eagerly reading, that he wrote his extraordinary claim-one that took no fewer than 356 years to prove. ~ Mario Livio
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Mario Livio
How strange life is, how fickle! How little is needed for one to be ruined or saved! ~ Guy De Maupassant
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Guy De Maupassant
Some authors regard morality in the same light as we regard modern architecture. Convenience is the first thing to be looked for. ~ Luc De Clapiers
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Luc De Clapiers
Someday I want to go back to San Felipe de Jesus and find the Jesus in that place. Someday I want to trap myself in those washboard towns, Aconchi, Magdalena; I want to meet their saints someday. I would ask them if they have ever been in love.

I don't mean the syrup they lay on you in the media. I mean the meat of love, the hardness of it, the ice water that wakes you up into the heat of day. The Mexico of love, with rocks, pickup trucks, fat men and sugary children. Cock-sure, moonlit tequila, sweet lime, metallic bed for secret touching. Did they ever reach that side of life? Those mealy saints with their crosses on their backs, did they have enough stomach for the midnight lunch of love? ~ Laurie Perez
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Laurie Perez
And not to serve for a table-talk. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Michel De Montaigne
In art them is a point of perfection, as of goodness or maturity in nature; he who is able to perceive it, and who loves it, has perfect taste; he who does not feel it, or loves on this side or that, has an imperfect taste. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Great thoughts come from the heart ~ Luc De Clapiers De Vauvenargues
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Luc De Clapiers De Vauvenargues
I turn my gaze inward. I fix it there and keep it busy. I look inside myself. I continually observe myself. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Pettiness of mind, ignorance and presumption are the cause of stubbornness, because stubborn people only want to believe what they themselves can imagine, and they can imagine very few things. ~ Madeleine De Souvre, Marquise De ...
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Madeleine De Souvre, Marquise De ...
One of my favourite books of all time: 'The Great Gatsby'. I just think it's so well written. ~ Danielle De Niese
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Danielle De Niese
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys. ~ Alphonse De Lamartine
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Alphonse De Lamartine
What I don't like so much is people who - how do you say this? - who make judgments over the genre of reality like it's television from the devil, and that's something that I don't like because I think everybody should watch what they like. It's a free world. It's a form of democracy. If you like it, watch. If you don't like it, don't watch. ~ John De Mol, Jr.
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by John De Mol, Jr.
In love it does not matter what you say, but what you feel. In poetry it does not matter what you feel, but what you say. ~ Luis De Góngora Y Argote
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Luis De Góngora Y Argote
It is my turn to wait. Funny that in all these months we have been meeting, it was always she waiting for me. ~ Melissa De La Cruz
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
And now, in honour of the 150th anniversary of Beethoven's death, I would like to play 'Clear the Saloon', er, 'Clair de Lune', by Debussy. I don't play Beethoven so well, but I play Debussy very badly, and Beethoven would have liked that. ~ Victor Borge
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Victor Borge
I sincerely believe patriarchy to be at the root of all of our social diseases and feminism, it's antidote, to be a prerequisite to peace on earth. feminism provides an alternative way of thinking and structuring things that focuses on and prioritizes relationships and de-emphasizes hierarchy, separation and domination. ~ Ani DiFranco
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Ani DiFranco
While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things. ~ Saint Francis De Sales
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Saint Francis De Sales
One must command from each what each can preform. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray. ~ Saint Francis De Sales
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Saint Francis De Sales
Withdraw yourself from people and spend at least an quarter of an hour, or a half-hour, in some church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Taste and see how sweet is the Lord, and you will learn from your own experience how many graces this will bring you. ~ Alfonso Maria De Liguori
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Alfonso Maria De Liguori
Were our pupil's disposition so bizarre that he would rather hear a tall story than the account of a great voyage or a wise discussion; that at the sound of a drum calling the youthful ardour of his comrades to arms he would turn aside for the drum of a troop of jugglers; that he would actually find it no more delightful and pleasant to return victorious covered in the dust of battle than after winning a prize for tennis or dancing; then I know no remedy except that his tutor should quickly strangle him when nobody is looking or apprentice him to make fairy-cakes in some goodly town - even if he were the heir of a Duke - following Plato's precept that functions should be allocated not according to the endowments of men's fathers but the endowments of their souls. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Circumstances are the seeds of literature. ~ Salvador De Madariaga
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Salvador De Madariaga
Each region of Paris is celebrated for the interesting treasures which are to be found there. There are ear-wigs in the timber-yards of the Ursulines, there are millepeds in the Pantheon, there are tadpoles in the ditches of the Champs-de-Mars. ~ Victor Hugo
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Victor Hugo
As soon as coffee is in your stomach, there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move ... similes arise, the paper is covered. Coffee is your ally and writing ceases to be a struggle. ~ Honore De Balzac
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Honore De Balzac
All those beings who revealed truths to me and who were no longer there, seemed to me to have lived a life from which I alone profited and as though they had died for me. It was sad for me to think that in my book, my love which was once everything to me, would be so detached from a being that various readers would apply it textually to the love they experienced for other women. But why should I be horrified by this posthumous infidelity, that this man or that should offer unknown women as the object of my sentiment, when that infidelity, that division of love between several beings began with my life and long before I began writing? I had indeed suffered successively through Gilberte, through Mme de Guermantes, through Albertine. Successively also I had forgotten them and only my love, dedicated at different times to different beings, had lasted. I had anticipated the profanation of my memories by unknown readers. I was not far from being horrified with myself as, perhaps, some nationalist party might be in whose name hostilities had been provoked and who alone had benefited from a war in which many noble victims had suffered and died without even knowing the issue of the struggle which, for my grandmother, would have been such a complete reward. And the single consolation she never knew, that at last I had set to work, was, such being the fate of the dead, that though she could not rejoice in my progress she had at least been spared consciousness of my long inactivity, of t ~ Marcel Proust
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Marcel Proust
It is taking one's conjectures rather seriously to roast someone alive for them. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Crime is the soul of lust. What would pleasure be if it were not accompanied by crime? It is not the object of debauchery that excites us, rather the idea of evil. ~ Marquis De Sade
Vicomtesse De Noailles quotes by Marquis De Sade
Excarnation The process by which religion (and Christianity in particular) is dis-embodied and de-ritualized, turned into a belief system. ~ James K.A. Smith
