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..

Henceforth the majesty of God revere;Fear Him, and you have nothing else to fear..

And forever goodbye! Forever! Oh, Sir, can you imagine how dreadful this cruel word sounds when one loves?.

The joys of the evil flow away like a torrent..

Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!.

I have pushed virtue to outright brutality..

Too much virtue can be criminal..

Ainsi que la vertu, le crime a ses degre s. Crime, like virtue, has its degrees..

Les te moins sont fort chers, et n'en a pas qui veut. Witnesses are expensive and not everyone can afford them..

To repair the irreparable ravages of time..

Love is not a fire to be shut up in a soul. Everything betrays us: voice, silence, eyes; half-covered fires burn all the brighter..

I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me..

By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!.

The heart that can no longer love passionately must with fury hate..

I have loved him too much not to hate.

Do not they bring it to pass by knowing that they know nothing at all?.

My only hope lies in my despair..

The faith that acts not, is it truly faith?.

My death, taking the light from my eyes, gives back to the day the purity which they soiled..

Innocence has nothing to dread..

Small crimes always precedes great ones..
