There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it with reluctance.
From Jean Racine
Justice in the extreme is often unjust.
A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.
There are no secrets that time does not reveal.
In fine, nothing is said now that has not been said before.
I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.
Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.
If I could believe that this was said sincerely, I could put up with anything.
Do not they bring it to pass by knowing that they know nothing at all?
I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want.
