Additional quotes by Stendhal
"Аз живях достатъчно, за да видя, че различието ражда омразата."
"Тежък ще е твоят жизнен път. В тебе аз виждам нещо, което обижда простолюдието. Завистта и Клеветата ще те преследват. Където и да те запрати провидението, другарите ти няма да могат да те гледат без омраза; и ако се преструват, че те обичат, то ще е само, за да те погубят по- сигурно."
