Just as we descend into our c...

Just as we descend into our consciences to judge of actions which our minds can not weigh, can we not also search in ourselves for the feeling which gives birth to forms of thought, always vague and cloudy?

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

What is a great life if not a...

What is a great life if not a youthful idea executed by a man of mature years.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

The study of social progress is to-day not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.

Hope is the biggest of our foolish things.

The existence of the soldier, next to capital punishment, is the most grievous vestige of barbarism which survives among men.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

Oh, I have a habit of letting myself be lectured on the things I know best. I like to see if they are understood in the same way I understand; for there are many ways of knowing the same thing

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

Fainthearted animals move about in herds. The lion walks alone in the desert. Let the poet always walk thus.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

The study of social progress ...

The study of social progress is to-day not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart. We live in an age of universal investigation, and of exploration of the sources of all movements. France, for example, loves at the same time history and the drama, because the one explores the vast destinies of humanity, and the other the individual lot of man. These embrace the whole of life. But it is the province of religion, of philosophy, of pure poetry only, to go beyond life, beyond time, into eternity.

The human mind, I believe, cares for the True only in the general character of an epoch.

An army is a nation within a nation, it is one of the vices of courage.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

What it values most of all is...

What it values most of all is the sum total of events and the advance of civilization, which carries individuals along with it; but, indifferent to details, it cares less to have them real than noble or, rather, grand and complete.

But it is the province of religion, of philosophy, of pure poetry only, to go beyond life, beyond time, into eternity.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

Of what use is the memory of facts, if not to serve as an example of good or of evil?

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

The acts of the human race on...

The acts of the human race on the world's stage have doubtless a coherent unity, but the meaning of the vast tragedy enacted will be visible only to the eye of God, until the end, which will reveal it perhaps to the last man.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

From this, without doubt, sprang the fable. Man created it thus, because it was not given him to see more than himself and nature, which surrounds him; but he created it true with a truth all its own.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

One might almost reckon mathematically that, having undergone the double composition of public opinion and of the author, their history reaches us at third hand and is thus separated by two stages from the original fact.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

I think, then, that man, after having satisfied his first longing for facts, wanted something fuller - some grouping, some adaptation to his capacity and experience, of the links of this vast chain of events which his sight could not take in.

The study of social progress is today not less needed in literature than is the analysis of the human heart.

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

We shall find in our troubled hearts, where discord reigns, two needs which seem at variance, but which merge, as I think, in a common source - the love of the true, and the love of the fabulous.
