More From Stendhal
- "To be loved at first sight, a man should have at the same time something to respect and something to pity in his face."
- "This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom."
- "Politics in a literary work, is like a gun shot in the middle of a concert, something vulgar, and however, something which is impossible to ignore."
More In Hope
- "Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden, so there is a lot of work."― Jeanne Moreau
- "The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan."― Jared Diamond
- "But teleological considerations can lead no further than to a belief and a hope. They do not give certainty."― Christian Lous Lange
