Widger's Quotations from the Project Gutenberg Editions of the Works of Guy de Maupassant

A compact companion for anyone who loves the crisp, often bittersweet world of Maupassant’s short fiction, this volume gathers the most striking lines and vivid snapshots from his entire oeuvre. Whether you’re recalling a favorite moment or hunting a specific phrase, the collection lets you locate the passage quickly, making rereading or study smoother than ever. It also invites readers to contribute their own favorites, keeping the selection alive and growing.

The book is arranged in two simple formats: short excerpts that capture the mood of a story, and alphabetized single‑sentence gems that stand alone as memorable observations. This dual layout means you can dip in for a quick literary bite or browse the list for inspiration. Ideal for students, teachers, or casual fans, it offers a handy way to revisit the elegance and irony that define Maupassant’s storytelling.
