Aphorisms and quotes by Stendhal
French writer and critic Stendhal (real name - Marie-Henri Beyle) - is the founder of literary realism. Possessing natural insight and observation, Stendhal reveals in his novels and short stories the secret mechanisms of the vices of society in the mid-19th century, showing that under the mask of piety and chastity, liars, intriguers and debauchees often hide. Below are some aphorisms and quotes from Stendhal."Trying to be yourself is the only way to be successful"
"Love is a delightful flower, but it takes courage to approach and pluck it on the edge of a terrible abyss"
“One of the most beautiful advantages of the mind is that it gives a person respect in old age”
“In the world of feelings, there is only one law - to make the happiness of the one you love”
"The fate of extreme old age in both sexes depends on what youth is spent on"
"Man lives on earth not to become rich, but to become happy"
“When you love, you do not want to drink any other water than the one you find in your favorite source. Loyalty in this case is a natural thing. In a loveless marriage, in less than two months, the spring water becomes bitter.”
“A novel is a mirror with which you walk along the high road. It reflects either the azure sky, or dirty puddles and potholes.
"The desire for something new is the first need of the human imagination"
“The strength of one passion must be judged by the strength of another, which was sacrificed for it”
“The stronger a person’s character, the less inclined he is to inconstancy in love”
“In passion-love, perfect happiness lies not so much in intimacy as in the last step towards it”
“Having fallen in love, the most intelligent person no longer sees a single object, what he really is ... A woman, for the most part ordinary, becomes unrecognizable and turns into an exceptional being”

The architectural appearance of the building, which gives us a feeling corresponding to its purpose, this is the style.
Let us work, because work is the father of pleasure.
In passion-love, perfect happiness lies not so much in intimacy as in the last step towards it.
In the world of feelings there is only one law - to make the one you love happy.
Great is the art of instilling in people wonderful ideas that teach them to sacrifice everything for the happiness of the human race.
The greater the artist, the more he must desire the ranks and orders that serve as his protection.
Any uprising against foreign invaders is a legal matter and is the first duty of every nation.
The flexibility of the mind can replace beauty.
The main advantage of language is clarity.
Yes, half - and, moreover, the most beautiful half - of life remains hidden for a person who has not loved with passion.
Even the severity of the beloved woman is full of endless charm, which we do not find in the happiest moments for us in other women.

When you love, you do not want to drink any other water than the one you find in your favorite spring. Loyalty in this case is a natural thing.
In a loveless marriage, in less than two months, the spring water becomes bitter.

To love means to experience pleasure when you see, touch, feel with all your senses and at the closest possible distance the being that you love and that loves you.

Love is a delightful flower, but it takes courage to approach and pluck it on the edge of a terrible abyss.
The world will become more just if it becomes more chaste.
My happiness would be complete if it were not victory, which is the only happiness of a fool.
Don't neglect anything that can make you great.
It is not enough that there are gifts; it is also necessary that the public opinion of contemporaries point to the truly beautiful for their creative efforts.
You cannot be called a politician if you do not have patience and the ability to control anger.
Notes are just the art of writing down ideas, the main thing is to have them.
The strength of one passion must be judged by the strength of another, which was sacrificed for it.
One of the most beautiful advantages of the mind is that it gives a person respect in old age.
It is not given to one person to combine all the talents in himself.
A very small degree of hope is enough to bring love into being. After two or three days hope may disappear; nevertheless, love has already been born.

The anecdotes of the circles in which he lived are unknown to the public, and it would take a huge number of pages to reproduce them with all the necessary shades.
Most men ask for proofs of love that they think will dispel all doubts; for women, unfortunately, no such evidence exists.
In any party, the smarter a person is, the less he belongs to his own party.
Anything can be acquired in solitude except character.
Everything can be said with a look, and meanwhile, a look can always be renounced, since it cannot be repeated exactly.
Lovers are very reckless, thinking about how to dress better; in the presence of a loved one, a woman is busy with something completely different than thinking about his toilet.
Every reasonable argument hurts.
When it goes out of fashion, music does not become worse for this, but meanwhile it does not make any more impression on the ingenuous hearts of young girls. Maybe they liked her only because she aroused delight in young people.
There are no friends for a lover.
God's only excuse is that he doesn't exist.
Women's charm does not come from ignorance.
Once Melanie said to me: "If women were not coquettes, you would force us to become them." Today I say: "If we weren't veils, women would make us veils."
When we are sure of the love of a woman, we are interested in the degree of her beauty; when we doubt her heart, we have no time to think about her face.
When you think that there are men so brave that they look a woman in the face, come up to her, shake her hand and say without horror: Do you want to marry me, be my wife? - one cannot but be surprised at the extent to which human courage reaches.
Beauty is only a promise of happiness.
A beloved woman radiates more charm than she has.
Love is the only passion that pays with the same coin that it mints itself.
Lovers often doubt what they believe the most.
Mademoiselle de Sommery, being caught by her lover at the scene of the crime, bravely denied this, and when he began to get excited, she said: “Ah, I see very well that you have stopped loving me; you believe more what you see than what I say.”
A fashionable building in ten years will lose its youth and become obsolete. It will become less unpleasant to the eye in two hundred years, when the fashion will be forgotten.
You can know everything except yourself.
A man can say almost nothing useful about what is going on in the heart of a tender woman; a coquette is another matter: sensuality and vanity are also inherent in us.
We are pleased with the jealousy of only those whom we ourselves could be jealous of. (With reference to Madame de Coulanges.)
Spelling does not create geniuses.
She manages to sell herself who has not managed to surrender.
A weak passion sharpens the mind, a strong one dulls it.
Tears are the highest degree of a smile.
Shyness is one of the sources of love for clothes; dressed in this way, and not otherwise, a woman promises herself to a greater or lesser extent. That is why outfits are out of place in old age.
A provincial woman trying to follow the fashion in Paris promises herself in the most absurd form and thereby ridicules herself. Provincial women who come to Paris should first dress as if they were already thirty years old.
It's hard not to exaggerate the happiness that you can't enjoy.
Extremely beautiful women cause not such amazement at the second meeting.
