52356 | But how could a shadow fulfil any promise, much less induce the Truth to descend to earth? |
52356 | But how did you perceive at length that your soul had left the body? |
52356 | But how do you know I am a Canon? |
52356 | But how is it these rogues have disappeared? |
52356 | But how is it they have not already mentioned it? |
52356 | But how shall we do it? |
52356 | But how shall we know in future the news of the world? |
52356 | But how? |
52356 | But if they did wish to die, what should deter them from fulfilling their desire? |
52356 | But if you had to live over again the life you have already lived, with all its pleasures and sufferings? |
52356 | But in what then are we superior to the men of primitive times, who were perfectly unacquainted with philosophy? |
52356 | But must this necessarily continue? |
52356 | But supposing you are right, what ought I to do, if I can not be useful to my race? |
52356 | But tell me, is greatness the same thing as extreme unhappiness? |
52356 | But tell me: do you ever remember having been able at any moment in your life to say sincerely,"I am happy"? |
52356 | But tell me: why am I here at all? |
52356 | But then, if you are not incited by injuries received, nor by hatred, nor ambition, why do you write in such a manner? |
52356 | But what does it matter? |
52356 | But what has that to do with it, if we ourselves do not conform to nature; that is, are no longer savages? |
52356 | But what is pleasure? |
52356 | But what is this other novelty that I discover? |
52356 | But what shall I say to you about men? |
52356 | But why dost thou shun me? |
52356 | But why is it that we live? |
52356 | But, Excellency, how can the little fellows manage that? |
52356 | But, apart from the fact that your heaven is scarcely an inviting place, who among the best of us can hope to merit it? |
52356 | But, reasonably, and not imaginatively, do we really think our successors will be better than ourselves? |
52356 | Children, do you not hear?... |
52356 | Did I ask to come into the world? |
52356 | Did not one of your ancient mathematicians say, that if he had standing room given him outside the world, he would undertake to move heaven and earth? |
52356 | Did you hear that? |
52356 | Did you not say you were inhabited? |
52356 | Do I keep these my children and servants for thy service? |
52356 | Do you also believe that the human race actually progresses daily? |
52356 | Do you believe all the century believes? |
52356 | Do you believe that forty or fifty years ago the philosophers were right or wrong in their statements? |
52356 | Do you clearly understand? |
52356 | Do you feel bad anywhere? |
52356 | Do you hear the delightful sound made by the heavenly bodies in motion? |
52356 | Do you imagine I should oppose the discoveries of the nineteenth century? |
52356 | Do you mean to say he killed his children and himself? |
52356 | Do you mean what you say? |
52356 | Do you not ordain that I am to be unhappy? |
52356 | Do you not recognise me? |
52356 | Do you not remember any particular year which you thought a happy one? |
52356 | Do you not remember that you are dead? |
52356 | Do you not remember we are both born of Decay? |
52356 | Do you not see that if there are no men there will be no more newspapers? |
52356 | Do you not see that the soul necessarily leaves the body when the latter becomes uninhabitable, and not because of any internal violence? |
52356 | Do you think that in these forty or fifty years the human race has changed to the opposite of what it then was? |
52356 | Do you think they will not come unless you call them? |
52356 | Do you think this New Year will be a happy one? |
52356 | Do you understand these names? |
52356 | Do you, however, think books are able to help the human race? |
52356 | Does it not follow that all your inhabitants are animals? |
52356 | Does it perchance hide from thee in the bowels of the earth, or the depths of the sea? |
52356 | Does not memory, wisdom''s ally, lose strength as we advance in age? |
52356 | Does pleasure or pain predominate? |
52356 | Does that seem incredible to you? |
52356 | Does your Excellency feel ill? |
52356 | Dost thou wish for majesty surpassing that of the Atrides? |
52356 | Even in dreams? |
52356 | Far from here? |
52356 | For do we not oftener see the former productive of results than the latter? |
52356 | For do we not see with our own eyes that the needle in these seas falls away from the Pole Star not a little towards the west? |
52356 | For have they not reached the summit of what is called human happiness? |
52356 | For to what end do we shun death, or desire life, save to promote our well- being, and for fear of the contrary? |
52356 | For what is implied in a state of life free from uncertainty and danger? |
52356 | For whose pleasure and service is this wretched life of the world maintained, by the suffering and death of all the beings which compose it? |
52356 | Had he not enlarged the world, multiplied its pleasures, and increased its diversity? |
52356 | Had you then, like Pasiphaë, a calf for your son? |
52356 | Has humanity progressed in strength and perfection, that the writers of to- day should be constrained to flatter, and compelled to reverence it? |
52356 | Have we not a strong instinctive horror of death? |
52356 | Have you felt no variation in the ennui which oppresses you, from the first day until now? |
52356 | Have you the mandate of Beelzebub? |
52356 | Honours and success, however wicked thou mayst be? |
52356 | How are you? |
52356 | How are you? |
52356 | How can I excuse myself? |
52356 | How can I go unless your Excellency comes? |
52356 | How can I sit? |
52356 | How can there be pain at a time of unconsciousness? |
52356 | How far are these conclusions refutable? |
52356 | How has it become so light? |
52356 | How have I injured you, in making you happy for three or four days?" |
52356 | How long have you been reduced to this kind of life? |
52356 | How many years have gone by since you began to sell almanacs? |
52356 | How should I know? |
52356 | How should we be occupied? |
52356 | How should we be spending our time? |
52356 | How then can it be unnatural to escape from suffering in the only way open to man, that is, by dying; since in life it can never be avoided? |
52356 | How then can order and virtue be said to be encouraged by your doctrine? |
52356 | I am the first Hour of the day, and how can the day exist, if your Excellency does not deign to go forth as usual? |
52356 | I ask you if it be permissible to be unhappy? |
52356 | I care little for the opinion of the world; nevertheless, exonerate me if you have any opportunity of doing so.... What am I? |
52356 | I mean, why do we consent to live? |
52356 | I should be very sorry for that; but what can I do? |
52356 | If a friend begged you to do this, why should you not gratify him? |
52356 | If it be peopled as numerously as our hemisphere, what proof have you that rational beings are to be found there, as in ours? |
52356 | If it be true, why may I not lament openly and freely, and say that I suffer? |
52356 | If man had the power to live for ever, I mean in this life and not after death, do you think he would be happy? |
52356 | If not, why should you expect to feel any violent sensation at its departure? |
52356 | If, however, they are different, why could not the one be separated from the other? |
52356 | Immortal? |
52356 | In answer to Horace''s question,"Why is no one content with his lot?" |
52356 | In short, Don Nicolas, what do you wish to prove by this discourse? |
52356 | In short, to sum it up in two words, do you agree with what the journals say about nature, and human destiny? |
52356 | In what, therefore, are we more advanced than our ancestors; and what means of attaining perfection do we possess, which they had not? |
52356 | Io chiedo al cielo, E al mondo: dite, dite: Chi la ridusse a tale? |
52356 | Is death itself a sensation? |
52356 | Is it not so? |
52356 | Is it that we are better acquainted with the truth? |
52356 | Is it that you have scruples of conscience lest the deed should be treasonable? |
52356 | Is it true that Mahomet one fine night cut you in two like a water melon, and that a good piece of your body fell into his cloak? |
52356 | Is it true that the Arcadians came into the world before you? |
52356 | Is it your own flesh and blood that you are eating? |
52356 | Is not man''s reason daily governed by accidents of all kinds? |
52356 | Is there any one who boasts of the pleasures he enjoys?" |
52356 | May not the same progress which exposes the wound find the salve to heal it? |
52356 | Mine, or that of the Prince, or whose? |
52356 | More joyfully perhaps? |
52356 | More probably, in greater trouble and difficulty; or worse, in a state of ennui? |
52356 | More wealth than shall be found in El Dorado, when it is discovered? |
52356 | My own? |
52356 | My sister? |
52356 | Nature? |
52356 | Not even for a single moment? |
52356 | Now tell me, did you feel any pain at the point of death? |
52356 | Now tell me: are all other actions of civilised men regulated by the standard of their primitive nature? |
52356 | Now, if man be permitted to live unnaturally, and be consequently unhappy, why may he not also die unnaturally? |
52356 | Now, if we remove the Earth from its place in the centre, and make it whirl round and round unremittingly, what will be the consequence? |
52356 | Of a domestic, or wild animal? |
52356 | Of course this was in reality mere fancy, since what could it matter to them when dead, that they lived in the minds of men? |
52356 | Of course, then, you believe that this century is superior to all the preceding ones? |
52356 | Oh, then, what are you? |
52356 | Or am I here unnaturally, contrary to your will? |
52356 | Or instead of land and water, may it not contain some other element? |
52356 | Or is it a member which has to be severed or violently wrenched away? |
52356 | Or, that once passed, they will return if you call out their names? |
52356 | Or, why not return to our primitive condition, and state of nature? |
52356 | Perhaps you think this very extinction of sensibility ought also to be an acute sensation? |
52356 | Perhaps, however, it is because some few men in the present day have learnt that the truest philosopher is he who abstains from philosophy? |
52356 | Say, how did you know you were dead?... |
52356 | Should you not like the New Year to resemble one of the past years? |
52356 | Tell me also: were you sensible of the moment when the soul entered you, and was joined, or as you say agglutinated, to your body? |
52356 | Tell me, do these slaves belong to your tribe or to another? |
52356 | Tell me: among the animals you mentioned, are there any of less vitality and sensibility than men? |
52356 | Tell me: is the spirit joined to the body by some nerve, muscle, or membrane which must be broken to enable it to escape? |
52356 | Tell me; are you really inhabited, as thousands of ancient and modern philosophers affirm-- from Orpheus to De Lalande? |
52356 | Tell me; do you amuse yourself by drawing up my sea- water, and then letting it fall again? |
52356 | That here or there it has rained or snowed, or been windy? |
52356 | That it is hot or cold? |
52356 | That the sun rises and sets? |
52356 | The last hour of the office of the breviary? |
52356 | The matter really resolves itself into this: which is the better, to suffer, or not to suffer? |
52356 | The pleasure of a dream worth more than a real pleasure? |
52356 | The word of honour of a good demon? |
52356 | Then even the fleas and gnats were made for the service of men? |
52356 | Then have you changed your opinion? |
52356 | Then is it impossible for a man to believe that he is actually happy? |
52356 | Then what dost thou want? |
52356 | Then what is death, if it be not pain? |
52356 | Then what is the meaning of this singing freak? |
52356 | Then what life would you like? |
52356 | Then what other life would you like to live? |
52356 | Then what shall you do with your book? |
52356 | Then what sort of creatures are yours? |
52356 | Then why has he done this thing? |
52356 | Then would you recommence it on this condition, if none other were offered you? |
52356 | Then? |
52356 | Thinkest thou then that the world was made for thee? |
52356 | To eat him? |
52356 | To posterity? |
52356 | To sensitive minds, what misery can exceed this? |
52356 | Well, supposing I admit the truth of what you say, how does that alter the matter? |
52356 | Were you ever conquered by any of your inhabitants? |
52356 | What are these judges doing? |
52356 | What colour are your men? |
52356 | What do I hear your Excellency say? |
52356 | What do you infer from that? |
52356 | What do you mean? |
52356 | What do you mean? |
52356 | What do you mean? |
52356 | What do you think of my reasoning? |
52356 | What do you think of the feast of Bairam? |
52356 | What do you think of those people who show you another moon in a well? |
52356 | What does all this uproar mean? |
52356 | What does it matter? |
52356 | What does it matter? |
52356 | What doest thou here, where thy race is unknown? |
52356 | What evil have I done before beginning to live, that you condemn me to this misery? |
52356 | What good are the sun, moon, air, sea, and country to the Gnomes? |
52356 | What has that to do with it? |
52356 | What have such pleasantries to do with so grave a matter? |
52356 | What have you found? |
52356 | What in the world has a thousandth part of the perfection with which your fancy endows women? |
52356 | What is ennui? |
52356 | What is it? |
52356 | What is it? |
52356 | What is it? |
52356 | What is less natural than medicine? |
52356 | What is that life we lived on earth? |
52356 | What is this to do with me? |
52356 | What is truth? |
52356 | What kind of books? |
52356 | What living being, what plant, or other thing animated by thee, what vegetable or animal participates in it? |
52356 | What man can satisfy your inexorable judges, Minos, Eacus, and Rhadamanthus, who will not overlook one single fault, however trivial? |
52356 | What men? |
52356 | What misery, my child? |
52356 | What remedy is there for ennui? |
52356 | What savoury food have you got? |
52356 | What then is this reward? |
52356 | What was it to him that he might gain a reputation on that earth which appeared so hateful and contemptible to him? |
52356 | What will be the fruit of this? |
52356 | Whence will come these praises and honours,--from heaven, from you, or from whom? |
52356 | Where does it dwell? |
52356 | Where, then, is the certainty that posterity will always esteem the kind of writing that we praise? |
52356 | Which are the more numerous among your people, virtues or vices? |
52356 | Which do you consider the more delightful, to see the dear woman, or to think of her? |
52356 | Which of the twenty should you wish the New Year to be like? |
52356 | Who are these unfortunate beings? |
52356 | Who are you? |
52356 | Who art thou? |
52356 | Who doubts the justice of men? |
52356 | Who has been teaching these dead folks music, that they thus sing like cocks, at midnight? |
52356 | Who has killed them? |
52356 | Who troubles himself about Malebranche? |
52356 | Who wants new Almanacs? |
52356 | Who would think of including a little earth in the catalogue of human benefits? |
52356 | Who, for instance, now reads Galileo''s works? |
52356 | Why can not I do it? |
52356 | Why did he do that? |
52356 | Why do you like to stay on the tops of minarets? |
52356 | Why else did I bring him into the world, and nourish him? |
52356 | Why may it not be one immense sea? |
52356 | Why not? |
52356 | Why not? |
52356 | Why not? |
52356 | Why not? |
52356 | Why should not the same reason govern our death which rules our life? |
52356 | Why should this latter, which has no influence over our life, control our death? |
52356 | Why then should suicide alone be judged unreasonably, and from the aspect of our primitive nature? |
52356 | Why? |
52356 | Why? |
52356 | Why? |
52356 | Why? |
52356 | Will you allow it to go down to posterity, conveying doctrines so contrary to the opinions you now hold? |
52356 | Would it not be evident that the happiness or unhappiness of such a person is nevertheless a matter of fortune? |
52356 | Would not the very disposition they boast of be dependent on circumstances? |
52356 | Would they then imagine that everything was made and maintained solely for them? |
52356 | Would you not like to live these twenty years, and even all your, past life from your birth, over again? |
52356 | Yes, what then? |
52356 | Yet, to enable them to attain to their present imperfect state of civilisation, how much time has had to elapse? |
52356 | You believe then in the infinite perfectibility of the human race, do you not? |
52356 | You would throw on me the responsibility of making daylight? |
52356 | [ 2] If immortality wrought such an effect on the gods, how would it be with men? |
52356 | [ 3] Are your women, or whatever I should call them, oviparous, and did one of their eggs fall down to us, once upon a time? |
52356 | [ 4] Are you perforated like a bead, as a modern philosopher believes? |
52356 | [ 5] Are you made of green cheese, as some English say? |
52356 | _? |
52356 | or even uninhabitable? |
52356 | what is this that I hear? |
52356 | what is this? |
52356 | what news? |
52356 | where are you going? |
52356 | who does not know that the world is made for the Gnomes? |
52356 | Çâkyamuni, nearly 2500 years ago, asked,"What is the cause of all the miseries and sufferings with which man is afflicted?" |
