Mirbeau, Octave quotes

1850-1918 French Playwright


The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.
Mirbeau, Octave
Torture

Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder.
Mirbeau, Octave
