Portrait by Felix Nadar, 1888
A quote by Guy de Maupassant, 1850 - 1893
- A human being — what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe!
Guy de Maupassant
