"Life is a hill. As long as one is climbing up one looks towards the summit and is happy, but when one reaches the top one suddenly perceives the descent before one, and its bottom, which is death. One climbs up slowly, but one goes down quickly."
"I now see death so near that I often want to stretch out my arms to push it back. I see if everywhere. The insects crushed on the path, the falling leaves, the white hair in a friend's beard, rend my heart and cry to me, 'Behold it!'"
Ah what an exquisite look into the Parisian society in the early 1900s! I loved running around with Georges DuRoy, with his writing at the La Vie Française newspaper, his many loves and ridiculous decisions. Guy de Maupassant is witty, clever, and presented us with a wonderful story of a social climber with many desires and dreams. Loved being able to read a French classic and could only dream of what it would be like in the French language.
