Quote by Guy de Maupassant
English (Source)
There comes a day, and for many it comes early, when, as the saying goes, the fun is over, because no matter what you look at, you see death behind. (...) Yes, you understand all at once, you don't even know why or how, and then the color of everything in your whole life changes. For fifteen years, I have felt that it is chewing on me, as if I were carrying some kind of chewing worm inside me. I feel that it is slowly destroying, month by month, hour by hour, like a house on the verge of collapse. It's so completely distorted that I don't even recognize myself. I no longer have anything of the radiant, fresh and strong man I was in my thirties. I saw her dye my black hair white, with such expert, wicked slowness! He took my tight skin, my muscles, my teeth, my whole former body - he left nothing but a desperate soul, and soon he will take that too... Yes, the wretch crumbled, silently and hideously, slowly destroying my entire being second by second.
