Guy De Maupassant
His most famous work is probably "THE NECKLACE," which is a classic short story that I hope you had to read in school.
"Whether we are describing a king, a thief, an honest man, a prostitute, a nun, a young girl, or a stallholder in a market, it is always ourselves that we are describing."
"Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched."
"A lawful kiss is never worth a stolen one."
1850 - 1893
