Extrait : "Ce n'est rien que le jeu d'aujourd'hui auprès du jeu d'autrefois : la révolution a fait passer dans la politique et dans le commerce cette activité ambitieuse qui n'avait naguère que des chances de cartes pour s'occuper, et la Bourse est un tripot honnête sur une grande échelle o l'on perd des millions problématiques, puisqu'on ne joue pas argent sur table."

Excerpt: "I do not know whether this will awaken a sympathetic lassitude in, say, fifty per cent. of its readers, or whether my experience is unique and my testimony simply curious. At any rate, it is as true as I can make it. Whether this is a mere mood, and a certain flagrant exhilaration my true attitude towards things, or this is my true attitude and the exuberant phase a lapse from it, I cannot say. Probably it does not matter. The thing is that...

Extrait : "Dès le boulevard il obsède. Campé sur son éminence, s'imposant aux yeux par les perspectives de quelques rues transversales, il entend qu'on ne l'oublie point.

Extrait: "C'est une erreur à la fois kantienne et romantique, de nous croire, chacun de nous, divisés en trois: passé, présent, avenir. Bref, un seul homme en divers personnages. Nous vivons selon beaucoup plus de catégories et sur beaucoup plus de dimensions ou de plans que nous ne le croyons à l'ordinaire. Ce sont là des notions dès à présent tangibles et qui provoqueront prochainement un nouvel ordre de lumières dans le monde de la Pensée."...
