Geat Quotes

1. "Daca ea ar fi fost o femeie buna si nobila, inzestrata cu forta, blandete pasiune si bun-simt, as fi purtat o singura lupta decisiva cu doi tigri-gelozia si disperarea; si apoi, cu inima smulsa din piept si sfasiata, as fi admirat-o..i-as fi recunoscut perfectiunea si as fi ramas tacuta pentru tot restul vietii mele; si cu cat mai impecabila ar fi fost superioritatea ei, cu atat mai adanca ar fi fost admiratia mea si cu atat mai adanca linistea mea. Dar asa cum stau de fapt lucrurile, sa privesc eforturile ei de a-l seduce, sa fiu martora esecului lor repetat, iar ea sa nu fie constienta de acest esec, inchipuindu-si, in vanitatea ei, ca fiecare sageata lansata isi nimerea tinta si falindu-se plina de ea cu cu succesul obtinut, in timp ce trufia si multumirea ei de sine indeparta tot mai mult ceea ce dorea ea sa atraga- sa vad toate acestea insemna sa ma aflu in aceslasi timp intr-o provocare permanenta si o constrangere nemiloasa"
