Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel.
~ Jean Racine
Présente je vous fuis; absente, je vous trouve;Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit
A tragedy need not have blood and death, it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.
I have loved him too much not to hate
Twas easier to disarm the god of strengthThan this Hippolytus, for HerculesYielded so often to the eyes of beauty,As to make triumph cheap.― Jean Racine, Phèdre
Can a faith that does nothing be called sincere?
There are no secrets that time does not reveal.
