5115 | If not, am I to keep a seat for you in my box? |
5115 | If you are as numerous, as powerful as one fancies, is it possible that you profess destruction and hatred as a duty? |

5115 | In that case, we are all attacked by it, by this strange illness, when we have imagination; and why should such a malady have a sex? |
5115 | In the play wo n''t you have to give a longer role to the wife of the good Saint- Gueltas? |

5115 | Must I write him? |
5115 | Must one find some fashion of accepting the honor, the duty, and the fatigue of living? |
5115 | Must she converse and read aloud? |
5115 | Must we wait till the middle of the winter to embrace each other? |
5115 | No joking? |

5115 | Of what use are these pleasures of vision, and how are these impressions transformed later? |
5115 | One is happy, do n''t you think so, to be able to relate one''s whole life? |
5115 | One ought to love common people more than oneself, are they not the real unfortunates of the world? |
5115 | One pities a little bird that has fallen from its nest; why not pity a heap of consciences fallen in the mud? |
5115 | Otherwise should n''t one curse the flesh like the Catholics? |
5115 | Our friend Alexandre Dumas fils, to make an agreeable paradox, has boasted of its advantages in the preface to the Dame aux Camelias, has n''t he? |
5115 | Perhaps also even emperor of the East? |
5115 | Perhaps tomorrow we shall know that we have beaten, and what will there be good or useful from one or the other? |
5115 | Poor old fellow, did you finally sleep like a dormouse in your cabin? |
