Jean Racine Quotes

Do you think you can be righteous and holy with impunity?

When will the veil be lifted that casts so black a night over the universe? God of Israel, lift at last the gloom: For how long will you be hidden?

All is asleep: the army, the wind, and Neptune.

Too much virtue can be criminal.

I have loved him too much not to hate him!

Ah, why can't I know if I love, or if I hate?

I loved you when you were unfaithful; what would I have done if you were true?

Some smaller crimes always precede the great crimes.

Justice in the extreme is often unjust.

She lifts the shadows from my blackest griefs, and makes even my darkest days serene ones.
