As one must die, I would rather die of passion than boredom!
Crever pour crever, je préfère crever de passion que de crever d'ennui!
Original text (French)
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.
When younger, he had been fun-loving to the point of tedium.
