Pierre Loti Quotes

I still went to church regularly every Sunday; that is we all went there together. I reverenced the family pew where we had assembled for so many years; and apart from that reason I hold it dear because it is associated in my memory with my mother Picture Quote #1

I still held fast to my determination to become a minister; it still seemed to me that that was my duty. I had pledged myself, in my prayers I had given my word to God. How could I therefore break my vow? Picture Quote #1

I recall feeling an almost delicious terror when one day I found myself alone in the midst of tall June grasses that grew high as my head. But here the secret working of self consciousness is almost too entangled with the things of the past for me to explain it Picture Quote #1

Egypt, the Egypt of antiquity, at a later time, exercised a mysterious fascination over me. I recognized a picture of it immediately, without hesitation and astonishment, in an illustrated magazine Picture Quote #1

And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand Picture Quote #1

Painting and music were the only things I worked at industriously and faithfully Picture Quote #1

It seems to me that it will be very wearisome to be a man Picture Quote #1

My emotions lose their force when I endeavor to interpret them, and my words seem very inept Picture Quote #1

Often, before returning home, I would take a long and roundabout way and pass by the peaceful ramparts from where I had glimpses of other provinces, and a sight of the distant country Picture Quote #1

I am surprised that I cannot recall whether my desire to become a minister transformed itself into a wish to lead the more militant life of missionary, by a slow process or suddenly Picture Quote #1

The moon of a bright silver, which dazzles by its shining, illumines a world which surely is no longer ours; for it resembles in nothing what may be seen in other lands Picture Quote #1

Through the study of fossils I had already been initiated into the mysteries of prehistoric creations Picture Quote #1

My books were always full of ink blots, always stained and covered with smeared sketches and pictures, which one draws idly when his attention wanders from his task Picture Quote #1

I was at that time like a fledgling swallow living high up in a niche in the eaves, who from time to time peeps out over the top of its nest with its little bright eyes Picture Quote #1

It is said that many children who live in the central provinces, away from the ocean, have a great longing to see it. I who had never been away from the monotonous country surrounding us looked forward eagerly to seeing the mountains Picture Quote #1

I still have in my memory, almost agonizing impressions of a serious illness which I had when I was about eight years old. Those about me called it scarlet fever, and its very name seemed to have a diabolical quality Picture Quote #1

I do not exactly remember at what period I started my museum which absorbed so much of my time Picture Quote #1
