Popular passages
Page 81 - Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man : and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
Page 100 - Here only, and for the first time, he appreciated, because he was deprived of it, the happiness of eating when he was hungry, of drinking when he was thirsty, of sleeping when he was sleepy, and of talking when he felt the desire to exchange some words. . . Later in life he always recurred with joy to this month of captivity, and never failed to speak with enthusiasm of the powerful and ineffaceable sensations, and especially of the moral calm which he had experienced at this epoch.
Page 239 - Our body is a living-machine — une machine d vivre. It is organized for that purpose, that is its nature ; let the life in it be left to itself; let it defend itself; it will do more than if you paralyze it by loading it down with remedies.

In this way European life, politics, Masonry, philosophy, philanthropy, had presented themselves to him. But at the very moments when he had accounted himself most weak his mind had leapt forth into that same distance, and then he had seen how small and narrow, how finite...
Page 273 - Andrew enjoyed a blissful feeling such as he had not experienced for a long time. All the best and happiest moments of his life — especially his earliest childhood, when he used to be undressed and put to bed, and when leaning over him his nurse sang him to sleep and he, burying his head in the pillow, felt happy in the mere consciousness of life — returned to his memory, not merely as something past but as something present.
Page 317 - Louis XIV was a very proud and self-confident man. He had such and such mistresses, and such and such ministers, and he governed France badly. The heirs of Louis XIV were also weak men, and also governed France badly.
