I has a vague idea that in some way we were brothers, both lost in life, both lonely and defenseless.

Guy de Maupassant quote: "Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives..."
Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist. Guy de Maupassant
You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who have fought for it, life has a flavor the protected shall never know. Guy de Maupassant
