Xavier de Maistre Quotes.

1. "Quando estiverdes a ler um livro, e uma ideia agradável vos vier de súbito à imaginação, a vossa alma agarra-se-lhe de imediato e esquece o livro, ao passo que os vossos olhos seguem maquinalmente as palavras e as linhas; terminais a página sem compreender nem recordar o que haveis lido. - Isso acontece porque a alma, tendo ordenado ao companheiro que realizasse a leitura, não o advertiu da pequena ausência que iria fazer; deste modo, o outro continuava a leitura que a vossa alma já não escutava."
- Xavier de Maistre, Journey Around My Room and a Nocturnal Expedition Around My Room

2.

- Xavier de Maistre, Journey Around My Room and a Nocturnal Expedition Around My Room
