Jean Racine

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

“Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.”

“I have pushed virtue to outright brutality.”

“A noble heart cannot suspect in others the pettiness and malice that it has never felt.”

“There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it with reluctance.”

“On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least.”
