Guy de Maupassant Quotes About Soul

Quotes about: Soul

• Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare.

  Guy de Maupassant

  Life, White, Soul

• To love very much is to love inadequately; we love-that is all. Love cannot be modified without being nullified. Love is a short word but it contains everything. Love means the body, the soul, the life, the entire being. We feel love as we feel the warmth of our blood, we breathe love as we breathe the air, we hold it in ourselves as we hold our thoughts. Nothing more exists for us. Love is not a word; it is a wordless state indicated by four letters.

  Guy de Maupassant

  Love, Mean, Air

  Guy de Maupassant

  Happiness, Flower, Heart

• She was the temptress who had ensnared the first man, and who still continued her work at damnation; she was the being who is feeble, dangerous, mysteriously troubling. And even more than her body of perdition, he hated her loving soul.

  Guy de Maupassant

  Men, Soul, Body

  Guy de Maupassant (1923). “The Works of Guy de Maupassant”

  Guy de Maupassant

  Beautiful, Eye, Men
