“At the end of a short time, once the first terror had subsided, calm was again restored.”
Boule de Suif (1880)
Context: At the end of a short time, once the first terror had subsided, calm was again restored. In many houses the Prussian officer ate at the same table with the family. He was often well-bred, and, out of politeness, expressed sympathy with France and repugnance at being compelled to take part in the war.

“I give an idea to Sam. "Destroy time, and chaos may be ordered," I say to him.”
Source: The Man Who Studied Yoga (1956), Ch. 5
Context: I give an idea to Sam. "Destroy time, and chaos may be ordered," I say to him.
"Destroy time, and chaos may be ordered," he repeats after me, and in desperation to seek his coma, mutters back, "I do not feel my nose, my nose is numb, my eyes are heavy, my eyes are heavy."
