More quotes by Émile Zola
Death and the sowing of seeds: and the life of bread growing up out of the earth.
This woman was as necessary to his life as eating and drinking.
As one must die, I would rather die of passion than boredom!

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
