"The Burial of Manon Lescaut" by Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret "Manon Lescaut" by Antoine François Prévost

[wellconstructedsentences]

The heart of a father is Nature's masterpiece.

Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost

[bookymcbookface]

“In spite of the cruellest inflictions of Fate, I derived comfort from her looks, and from the conviction that I now possessed her undivided affection. I had in truth lost all that other men value; but I was the master of Manon's heart, the only possession that I prized.”

It has never been a matter of wonder to me that human resolutions are liable to change; one passion gives them birth, another may destroy them.

Abbe Prevost

[rachelscommonplacebook]

The ordinary run of men are susceptible in only five or six passions, within whose compass they live their whole lives, and to which all their emotions are reduced. Remove love and hate, pleasure and pain, hope and fear, and there is nothing left for them to feel.

Abbé Prévost, Manon Lescaut (57)

[lachrimaeantiquae]

The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature.

Abbé Prévost, Manon Lescaut

[talesofpassingtime]

'Alas!' cried I, 'even amongst the unfortunate, I am to be ever the most wretched!'

Abbe Prevost, Manon Lescaut
