"Vaut" Quotes from Famous Books



... there are still some bears to shoot in winter, and izard (a species of chamois) and capercailzie to pursue in autumn; but the "sportsmen" are many and the game few, and the way to their haunts lies by bad and unfrequented paths; so that "le jeu ne vaut pas la chandelle." To the botanist and the geologist, however, there is a splendid field, which, varying in richness according to the locality, is more or less rich everywhere; and besides these, the entomologist will not visit this territory in vain. To the mountaineer these almost ...

... prs le travail de Mrs. Stephen je le trouve intressant au plus haut point. C'est une interprtation personelle et originale de l'ensemble de mes vues—interprtation qui vaut par elle-mme, indpendamment de ce qui j' ai crit. L'auteur s'est assimil l'esprit del doctrine, puis, se dgageant de la matrialit du texte elle a dvelopp sa manire, dans la direction qu'elle avait choisi, des ides qui lui paraissaient fondamentales.

Not a pamphlet can be printed without cash; or indeed written, without ...

... vous plus de chimere ardemment poursuivie, quel que soit l'ideal, votre reve vaut mieux, et vous avez surtout le biasement des Dieux, Psyche, qu'Eros lui-meme a grand'peine ...
— In the Courts of Memory 1858-1875. • L. de Hegermann-Lindencrone

... up the other day in Paris, for after mentioning three or four of the pictures, and gravely affirming that the existence here of a gallery of Irish portraits proves the passionate devotion of Dublin to Home Rule, he dismisses the collection with the verdict that "ce ne vaut pas le diable." Nevertheless it already contains more really good pictures than the Musee either of Lyons or of Marseilles, both of them much larger and wealthier cities than Dublin. Leaving out the Three Maries of Perugino ...
— Ireland Under Coercion (2nd ed.) (1 of 2) (1888) • William Henry Hurlbert

... worthy of condemnation than the ignoring of Germany in the Reformation, and doubly deplorable when one sees such blind faith in the bloody sentences of that most miserable court of judgment of Henry VIII. I must therefore invert your formula thus, "L'histoire romanique (romantique) ne vaut pas le Roman historique." (I am not speaking of "Two Years Ago," for I only began to read the book yesterday.) But I am very glad that you think so highly of Froude personally, and therefore this matter does not disturb ...
