When Christophe at last made up his mind to go to bed, chilled in body and soul, he heard the window below him shut. And, as he lay, he thought sadly that it is cruel for the poor to dwell on the past, for they have no right to have a past, like the rich: they have no home, no corner of the earth wherein to house their memories: their joys, their sorrows, all their days, are scattered in the wind.

Additional quotes by Romain Rolland

در مقابل روزی که بر می‌آید پرهیزگار باش. به آن‌چه در یک سال یا ده سال دیگر پیش خواهد آمد فکر نکن. در فکر امروز باش. اصول نظری خود را کنار بگذار. می‌بینی - همه ی اصول نظری، حتی اصول فضیلت، بد است، احمقانه است، زیان‌بخش است. بر زندگی زور روا مدار. همین امروز را زندگی کن. در مقابل هر روز پرهیزگار باش. دوستش بدار، احترامش را نگه‌دار، به‌خصوص پژمرده‌اش نساز، مانع شکفتن آن نشو. حتی اگر مثل امروز تیره‌رنگ و غم‌آلود باشد، دوستش بدار.

Above all race questions, which are for the most part a mask behind which pride crouches and the interests of the financial or aristocratic classes dissemble, there is a law of humanity, eternal and universal, of which we are all the servants and guardians; it is that of the right of a people to rule themselves. And he who violates shall be the enemy of all.

در زندگی لحظه‌های قاطعی هست که در آن، همان‌گونه که در شهرهای بزرگ سر شب ناگهان برق روشن می‌شود، آتش جاویدان در جان تیره فروزان می‌گردد. کافی است که جرقه‌ای از یک روح دیگر برجهد و آتش پرومته را به جانی که چشم به راه آن است منتقل سازد.
