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

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

Hope is the greatest madness....

Hope is the greatest madness. What can we expect of a world that we enter with the assurance of seeing our fathers and mothers die? A world where, if two beings love each other and give their lives to each other, both can be sure that one will watch the other perish?

Alfred De Vigny 55 quotes

The first among mankind will ...

The first among mankind will always be those who make something imperishable out of a sheet of paper, a canvas, a piece of marble, or a few sounds

To hold power has always meant to manipulate idiots and circumstances; and those circumstances and those idiots, tossed together, bring about those coincidences to which even the greatest men confess they owe most of their fame

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

Silence alone is great; all e...

Silence alone is great; all else is feebleness . . . Perform with all your heart your long and heavy task. . . . Then as do I, say naught, but suffer and die.

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

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty.

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 beyo

On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born.

Silence alone is great; all else is feebleness . . . Perform with all your heart your long and heavy task. . . . Then as do I, say naught, but suffer and die.

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

What is a great life? It is the dreams of youth realised in old age.

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.

Perform your long and heavy task with energy, treading the path to which Fate has been pleased to call you
