- Popular French short story writer and novelist, often concerned with the effects of war on ordinary people. Best known for "Boule de Suif" and "Bel Ami".
- The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creatures who,sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks.
- Life is composed of the most dissimilar things, the most unforeseen, the,most contradictory, the most incongruous. It is merciless, without,sequence or connection, full of inexplicable, illogical and,contradictory consequences, such as can only be classed as,miscellaneous facts.
- A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing.
- The only certainty is death.
- The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
- In fact living is dying.
- Get black on white.
- Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched. "],If I could, I would stop the passage of time.
- Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face. But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare.
- Nevertheless man has found love, which is not a bad reply to that sly Deity, and he has adorned it with so much poetry that woman often forgets the sensual part of it. Those among us who are unable to deceive themselves have invented vice and refined debauchery, which is another way of laughing at God and paying homage, immodest homage, to beauty.
