Book Excerpt: 
. . .Auguste de Maulincour had the personal misfortune of running against this passion, and falling in love with the wife beyond recovery. Nevertheless, though he carried in his heart so intense a love, he was not ridiculous; he complied with all the demands of society, and of military manners and customs. And yet his face wore constantly, even though he might be drinking a glass of champagne, that dreamy look, that air of silently despising life, that nebulous expression which belongs, though for other reasons, to blases men,—men dissatisfied with hollow lives.

برایم تلنگری از نوعِ تزویر و دروغ، فریب کاری، احساسی تصمیم گرفتن، واقعی فکر نکردن، عجول بودن، بیشتر اندیشیدن در موردِ عشق هایِ آتشین، نادیده گرفتن حقایقِ موجود، خودفریبی، زندگی کردن در رویایِ پوچ، طعمه ای برای دگران بودن و در یک کلام"قربانی شدن"بود.
