Stendhal

Marie-Henri Beyle (23 January 1783 - 23 March 1842), better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a 19th-century French writer. Known for his acute analysis of his characters' psychology, he is considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism, as is evident in the novels Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839).

“One can acquire everything in solitude except character.”
-- Stendhal

“A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.”
-- Stendhal

“Faith, I am no such fool; everyone for himself in this desert of selfishness which is called life.”
-- Stendhal
