More quotes by Guy de Maupassant

"Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist."
"A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe!"
