Frases de Guy De Maupassant
página 2

Henry René Albert Guy de Maupassant fue un escritor francés, autor principalmente de cuentos, aunque escribió seis novelas. Para el historiador del terror Rafael Llopis, Maupassant, perdido en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, se encuentra muy lejano ya del furor del Romanticismo, es «una figura singular, casual y solitaria».

Podemos analizar a un amigo y a una amiga, tener en cuenta lo que tienen de bueno, despreciar lo que tienen de malo y apreciar con toda exactitud su valor mientras nos dejamos llevar por una simpatía íntima, profunda y deliciosa.
Para amar hay que ser ciego, entregarse por entero, no ver nada, no razonar nada, no comprender nada. Hay que poder adorar tanto las debilidades como las bellezas, renunciar a cualquier juicio, a cualquier reflexión, a cualquier perspicacia.”

El Horla (1887) [Cuento]

“el perro dormido se despertó de pronto y, levantando la cabeza, tendiendo el cuello, mirando hacia el fuego con sus ojos casi apagados, dio uno de esos lúgubres aullidos que hacen estremecerse a los viajeros, de noche, en el campo. Todos los ojos se volvieron hacia él; ahora permanecía inmóvil, tieso sobre las patas, como atormentado por una visión; se echó de nuevo a aullar hacia algo invisible, desconocido, sin duda horroroso, ya que todo el pelo se le ponía de Punta.

“They held up to admiration all those women who from time to time have arrested the victorious progress of conquerors, made of their bodies a field of battle, a means of ruling, a weapon; who have vanquished by their heroic caresses hideous or detested beings, and sacrificed their chastity to vengeance and devotion.
All was said with due restraint and regard for propriety, the effect heightened now and then by an outburst of forced enthusiasm calculated to excite emulation.
A listener would have thought at last that the one role of woman on earth was a perpetual sacrifice of her person, a continual abandonment of herself to the caprices of a hostile soldiery.

“There are in France some fifty thousand young men of good birth and fairly well off who are encouraged to live a life of complete idleness. They must either cease to exist or must come to see that there can be no happiness, no health even, without regular daily labor of some sort … The need of work is in me.”

As quoted in Contemporary Portraits (1920) by Frank Harris, p. 263

“The count uttered several rather risky witticisms, but so tactfully were they said that his audience could not help smiling. Loiseau in turn made some considerably broader jokes, but no one took offence; and the thought expressed with such brutal directness by his wife was uppermost in the minds of all: "Since it's the girl's trade, why should she refuse this man more than another?"”

Besides, who would have been the wiser? She might have saved appearances by telling the officer that she had taken pity on their distress. Such a step would be of so little consequence to her.

The Wreck

“Let us protest and let us be angry, let us be indignant, or let us be enthusiastic, Schopenhauer has marked humanity with the seal of his disdain and of his disenchantment.
A disabused pleasure-seeker, he overthrew beliefs, hopes, poetic ideals and chimeras, destroyed the aspirations, ravaged the confidence of souls, killed love, dragged down the chivalrous worship of women, crushed the illusions of hearts, and accomplished the most gigantic task ever attempted by scepticism. He spared nothing with his mocking spirit, and exhausted everything. And even to-day those who execrate him seem to carry in their own souls particles of his thought.”

"Beside Schopenhauer's Corpse"

“I did not love her, I did not even know her. And for all that, I was touched and conquered. I wanted to save her, to sacrifice myself for her, to commit a thousand follies! Strange thing! How does it happen that the presence of a woman overwhelms us so? Is it the power of her grace which enfolds us? Is it the seduction of her beauty and youth, which intoxicates one like wine?
Is it not rather the touch of Love, of Love the Mysterious, who seeks constantly to unite two beings, who tries his strength the instant he has put a man and a woman face to face?”
