Octave Mirbeau Quotes

Nothing comes at all -- never anything. And I cannot accustom myself to that. It is this monotony, this absolute fixity in life, that is the hardest thing for me to endure. I should like to go away from here. Go away? But where and how? I do not know, and I stay Picture Quote #1

Come now, don’t make such a funeral face. It isn’t dying that’s sad; it’s living when you’re not happy Picture Quote #1

The greatest danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity that they provoke Picture Quote #1

When one tears away the veils and shows them naked, people's souls give off such a pungent smell of decay Picture Quote #1

To take something from a person and keep it for oneself: that is robbery.

Robbery is so much more stupid, since it is satisfied with a single, frequently dangerous profit; whereas in business it can be doubled without danger Picture Quote #1

While I was an honorable man in her eyes, she did not love me. But the minute she understood what I was, when she breathed the true and foul odor of my soul, love was born in her – for she does love me! Well, well! There is nothing real, then, except evil Picture Quote #1

Come now, don’t make such a funeral face. It isn’t dying that’s sad; it’s living when you’re not happy Picture Quote #1

Children, by nature, are keen, passionate and curious. What was referred to as laziness is often merely an awakening of sensitivity, a psychological inability to submit to certain absurd duties, and a natural result of the distorted, unbalanced education given to them. This laziness, which leads to an insuperable reluctance to learn, is, contrary to appearances, sometimes proof of intellectual superiority and a condemnation of the teacher Picture Quote #1

Desire can attain the darkest human terror and give an actual ideal of hell and its horror Picture Quote #1

Nature’s constantly screaming with all its shapes and scents: love each other! Love each other! Do as the flowers. There’s only love Picture Quote #1

The poor are the human manure in which grow the harvests of life, the harvests of joy which the rich reap Picture Quote #1

Solitude does not consist in living alone; it consists in living with others, with people who take no interest in you Picture Quote #1
