Strana xvii - Qu'on parle mal ou bien du fameux Cardinal, Ma prose ni mes vers n'en diront jamais rien : II m'a fait trop de bien pour en dire du mal, II m'a fait trop de mal pour en dire du bien.
Strana 131 - C'était le seul débris de ma longue tempête, Seul fruit de tant de fleurs, seul vestige d'amour, Une larme au départ, un baiser au retour, Pour mes foyers...
Strana xvii - En vain contre le Cid un ministre se ligue : Tout Paris pour Chimène a les yeux de Rodrigue.
Strana 5 - Yes! where is he, the champion and the child Of all that's great or little, wise or wild? Whose game was empires, and whose stakes were thrones? Whose table earth — whose dice were human bones?

If we desired to hand our names down to posterity as authors, it was indispensable that we should immure ourselves absolutely for two or three years : that we should drink nothing but water and only eat soaked beans, like Protogenes : that we should go to bed at sunset and rise at midnight, to work hard till morning: that we should spend the whole day in revising, amending, extending, pruning, perfecting, and polishing our night's work, in correcting...
Strana 97 - Away with civilization! Away with thought!" — That is your cry. You ought to hold in horror the education of women for the reason so well realized in Spain, that it is easier to govern a nation of idiots than a nation of scholars. A nation degraded...
Strana 63 - ... neglects me more than ever. He won't go down oftener than every third or fourth day to make my purchases, and then to the nearest and worst dealers in the neighborhood ; the others are too far off, and the fellow economizes in steps.
