Il est plus difficile de dissimuler les sentiments que l'on a que de feindre ceux que l'on n'a pas.
Later Additions to the Maxims
La honte que cause l’amour est comme sa douleur: on ne l’éprouve qu’une fois. On peut encore la feindre après; mais on ne la sent plus. Cependant le plaisir reste, et c’est bien quelque chose.

1890s
Context: As for us, our days of combat are over. Our swords are rust. Our guns will thunder no more. The vultures that once wheeled over our heads must be buried with their prey.

We have shared the incommunicable experience of war; we have felt, we still feel, the passion of life to its top.
