Additional quotes by Guy de Maupassant

A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe!

"Since governments take the right of death over their people, it is not astonishing if the people should sometimes take the right of death over governments."
