They were in Amherst's hand, and the sight arrested her as though she had heard him speak. La vraie morale se moque de la morale.... We perish because we follow other men's examples.... Socrates used to call the opinions of the many by the name of Lamiæ bugbears to frighten children.... A rush of air seemed to have been let into her stifled mind. Were they his own thoughts?
"Schiller, you are a regular Schiller! O la vertu va-t-elle se nicher? But you know I shall tell you these things on purpose, for the pleasure of hearing your outcries!" "I dare say. I can see I am ridiculous myself," muttered Raskolnikov angrily. Svidrigailov laughed heartily; finally he called Philip, paid his bill, and began getting up. "I say, but I am drunk, assez cause," he said.
"I would have my valor in all men's mouths, but not in this fashion, for it is too biting a jest. Three, say you? Well, I am glad it was no worse; I have a tender conscience, and that mad fellow of the north, Hotspur, sits heavily upon it, so that thus this Percy, being slain by my valor, is per se avenged, a plague on him! Three, say you?
One of the most recent supporters of the Volitional theory has furnished an explanation, at once historically true and philosophically acute, of the failure of the Greek philosophers in physical inquiry, in which, as I conceive, he unconsciously depicts his own state of mind. “Their stumbling-block was one as to the nature of the evidence they had to expect for their conviction.... They had not seized the idea that they must not expect to understand the processes of outward causes, but only their results: and consequently, the whole physical philosophy of the Greeks was an attempt to identify mentally the effect with its cause, to feel after some not only necessary but natural connexion, where they meant by natural that which would per se carry some presumption to their own mind.... They wanted to see some reason why the physical antecedent should produce this particular consequent, and their only attempts were in directions where they could find such reasons.” In other words, they were not content merely to know that one phenomenon was always followed by another; they thought that they had not attained the true aim of science, unless they could perceive something in the nature of the one phenomenon, from which it might have been known or presumed previous to trial that it would be followed by the other: just what the writer, who has so clearly pointed out their error, thinks that he perceives in the nature of the phenomenon Volition.
Many laws are to be found there which are unnecessary and superfluous if applied elsewhere. Many actions, innocent in themselves, are prohibited. All the mala prohibita are not mala in se. But one thing is as clear as a sunbeam, and that is a very important light to the student of Ethics; if God was the author of these laws, nothing morally wrong was commanded or allowed by them.
Our line has had five hundred years of glory, and we ought to be content. Enfin les renards se trouvent chez le pelletier. 'Speak for yourself, young Consequence, and leave the destinies of old families to respectable philosophers. This fiasco is the direct result of evil conduct, and of nothing else at all. I have managed badly; I countenanced you too far.
The other day I was so much struck with the ear of a model, from whom I was working, that I said to her, "You have, without exception, the most beautiful ear I ever saw." She laughed somewhat derisively, and said, "Ma che?" "It does not seem to give you any pleasure," I continued, "to know that you have a very handsome ear." "Che mi importa," answered she, "se sia bello o brutto?
Literary honours of various nations. Local associations with the memory of the man of genius. Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth. Like that illustrious Roman who owed nothing to his ancestors, videtur ex se natus, these seem self-born; and in the baptism of fame, they have given themselves their name.
"D n my eyes!" answered a well-dressed woman, "I can answer for myself and the other ladies; though I never saw the lady in my life, she need not be shy of us, d n my eyes! "D n me, madam!" cried another female, "I honour what you have done. I once put a knife into a cull myself so my service to you, madam, and I wish you may come off with se diffidendo with all my heart."
And now she had an everlasting claim to his protection she should never know shame or want. And the love that had led to the wrong should, by fidelity and devotion, take from it the character of sin. Natural and commonplace sophistries! L'homme se pique! as old Montaigne said; Man is his own sharper! The conscience is the most elastic material in the world.
