THE CONFESSIONS OF JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 1

[JJ#01][jj01b10.txt]3901

A feeling heart the foundation of all my misfortunes

Being beat like a slave, I judged I had a right to all vices

Degree of sensuality had mingled with the smart and shame

First instance of violence and oppression is so deeply engraved

Hold fast to aught that I have, and yet covet nothing more

Insignificant trash that has obtained the name of education

Law that the accuser should be confined at the same time

Less degree of repugnance in divulging what is really criminal

Money that we possess is the instrument of liberty

Money we lack and strive to obtain is the instrument of slavery

Necessity, the parent of industry, suggested an invention

Neither the victim nor witness of any violent emotions

Passed my days in languishing in silence for those I most admire

Rogues know how to save themselves at the expense of the feeble

Seeking, by fresh offences, a return of the same chastisement

Supposed that certain, which I only knew to be probable

Taught me it was not so terrible to thieve as I had imagined

We learned to dissemble, to rebel, to lie

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 2

[JJ#02][jj02b10.txt]3902

A man, on being questioned, is immediately on his guard

A religion preached by such missionaries must lead to paradise!

Aversion to singularity

Avoid putting our interests in competition with our duty

Catholic must content himself with the decisions of others

Disgusted with the idle trifling of a convent

Dissembler, though, in fact, I was only courteous

Ever appearing to feel as little for others as herself

Flattery, or rather condescension, is not always a vice

Hopes, in which self-love was by no means a loser

I did not fear punishment, but I dreaded shame

I felt no dread but that of being detected

I only wished to avoid giving offence

Instead of being delighted with the journey only wished arrival

Left to nature the whole care of my own instruction

Making me sensible of every deficiency

Myself the principal object

Obtain their wishes, without permitting or promising anything

Piety was too sincere to give way to any affectation of it

Placing unbounded confidence in myself and others

Proportioned rather to her ideas than abilities

Protestants, in general, are better instructed

Read the hearts of others by endeavoring to conceal our own

Remorse sleeps in the calm sunshine of prosperity

Remorse wakes amid the storms of adversity

Sometimes encourage hopes they never mean to realize

The conscience of the guilty would revenge the innocent

Where merit consists in belief, and not in virtue

Whole universe would be interested in my concerns

Yielded him the victory, or rather declined the contest

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 3

[JJ#03][jj03b10.txt]3903

A subject not even fit to make a priest of

Endeavoring to hide my incapacity, I rarely fail to show it

Endeavoring to rise too high we are in danger of falling

Foresight with me has always embittered enjoyment

Hat only fit to be carried under his arm

Love of the marvellous is natural to the human heart

Mistake wit for sense

Priests ought never to have children—except by married women

Rather appeared to study with than to instruct me

Though not a fool, I have frequently passed for one

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 4

[JJ#04][jj04b10.txt]3904

Have ever preferred suffering to owing

I was long a child, and am so yet in many particulars

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 5

[JJ#05][jj05b10.txt]3905

Adopted the jargon of books, than the knowledge they contained

Dying for love without an object

Have the pleasure of seeing an ass ride on horseback

Idleness is as much the pest of society as of solitude

If you have nothing to do, you must absolutely speak continually

In a nation of blind men, those with one eye are kings

Injustice of mankind which embitters both life and death

Not so easy to quit her house as to enter it

Sin consisted only in the scandal

Trusting too implicitly to their own innocence

Voltaire was formed never to be (happy)

When everyone is busy, you may continue silent

Whose discourses began by a distribution of millions

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 6

[JJ#06][jj06b10.txt]3906

All animals are distrustful of man, and with reason

Ardor for learning became so far a madness

Conversations were more serviceable than his prescriptions

Finding in every disease symptoms similar to mine

First time in my life, of saying, "I merit my own esteem"

Looking on each day as the last of my life

Making their knowledge the measure of possibilities

Men, in general, make God like themselves

One of those affronts which women scarcely ever forgive

Prescriptions serve to flatter the hopes of the patient

Read description of any malady without thinking it mine

Read without studying

Return of spring seemed to me like rising from the grave

Slighting her favors, if within your reach, a unpardonable crime

True happiness is indescribable, it is only to be felt

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 7

[JJ#07][jj07b10.txt]3907

I am charged with the care of myself only

I strove to flatter my idleness

Men of learning more tenaciously retain their predjudices

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 8

[JJ#08][jj08b10.txt]3908

All your evils proceed from yourselves

Considering this want of decency as an act of courage

Die without the aid of physicians

I had a numerous acquaintance, yet no more than two friends

Knew how to complain, but not how to act

Moment I acquired literary fame, I had no longer a friend

There is no clapping of hands before the king

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 9

[JJ#09][jj09b10.txt]3909

An author must be independent of success

Cemented by reciprocal esteem

Difficult to think nobly when we think for a livelihood

Dine at the hour of supper; sup when I should have been asleep

Force me to be happy in the manner they should point out

Hastening on to death without having lived

How many wrongs are effaced by the embraces of a friend

I loved her too well to wish to possess her

I never heard her speak ill of persons who were absent

Idea of my not being everything to her

In the course of their lives frequently unlike themselves

Is it possible to dissimulate with persons whom we love?

Letters illustrious in proportion as it was less a trade

Loaded with words and redundancies

Make men like himself, instead of taking them as they were

Manoeuvres of an author to the care of publishing a good book

No longer permitted to let old people remain out of Paris

No sooner had lost sight of men than I ceased to despise them

Not knowing how to spend their time, daily breaking in upon me

Painful to an honest man to resist desires already formed

Rather bashful than modest

This continued desire to control me in all my wishes

To make him my apologies for the offence he had given me

Tyranny of persons who called themselves my friends

Virtuous minds, which vice never attacks openly

When once we make a secret of anything to the person we love

Without the least scruple, freely disposing of my time

Writing for bread would soon have extinguished my genius

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 10

[JJ#10][jj10b10.txt]3910

Indolence, negligence and delay in little duties to be fulfilled

Jean Bapiste Rousseau

My greatest faults have been omissions

Satisfaction of weeping together

The malediction of knaves is the glory of an honest man

There is nothing in this world but time and misfortune

What facility everything which favors the malignity of man

Whence comes it that even a child can intimidate a man

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 11

[JJ#11][jj11b10.txt]3911

Caution is needless after the evil has happened

Her excessive admiration or dislike of everything

More folly than candor in the declaration without necessity

Multiplying persons and adventures

That which neither women nor authors ever pardon

THE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 12

[JJ#12][jj12b10.txt]3912

Bilboquet

I never much regretted sleep

In company I suffer cruelly by inaction

Indolence of company is burdensome because it is forced

More stunned than flattered by the trumpet of fame

Nothing absurd appears to them incredible

Obliged to pay attention to every foolish thing uttered

Only prayer consisted in the single interjection "Oh!"

Reproach me with so many contradictions

Substituting cunning to knowledge

Wish thus to be revenged of me for their humiliation

ENTIRE CONFESSIONS OF J. J. ROUSSEAU, BOOK 13

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
