Every landscape is, as it were...

Every landscape is, as it were, a state of the soul, and whoever penetrates into both is astonished to find how much likeness there is in each detail.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Dreams are excursions into the...

Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

A man must be able to cut a kn...

A man must be able to cut a knot, for everything cannot be untied; he must know how to disengage what is essential from the detail in which it is enwrapped, for everything cannot be equally considered; in a word, he must be able to simplify his duties, his business and his life.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

He who floats with the current...

He who floats with the current, who does not guide himself according to higher principles, who has no ideal, no convictions-such a man is . . . a thing moved, instead of a living and moving being-an echo, not a voice. The man who has no inner-life is a slave of his surroundings as the barometer is the obedient servant of the air.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

At bottom, everything depends ...

At bottom, everything depends upon the presence or absence of one single element in the soul - HOPE

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Man never knows what he wants;...

Man never knows what he wants; he aspires to penetrate mysteries and as soon as he has, wants to re-establish them. Ignorance irritates him and knowledge cloys.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

True poetry is truer than scie...

True poetry is truer than science, because it is synthetic, and seizes at once what the combination of all the sciences is able, at most, to attain as a final result.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Society rests upon conscience,...

Society rests upon conscience, not upon science.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

To know where one is going and...

To know where one is going and what one wishes - this is order ... to organize one's life to distribute one's time ... all this belong to and is included in the word order.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Philosophy means the complete ...

Philosophy means the complete liberty of the mind, and therefore independence of all social, political or religious prejudice... It loves one thing only... truth.

We become actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Life is an apprenticeship to the constant renunciations, to the steady failure of our claims, our hopes, our powers, our liberty.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

To learn new habits is everyth...

To learn new habits is everything, for it is to reach the substance of life. Life is but a tissue of habits.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Mozart has the classic purity ...

Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Doubt of the reality of love ends by making us doubt everything.

Love is faith and one faith leads to another.

A modest garden contains, for those who know how to look and to wait, more instruction than a library.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

He who is silent is forgotten;...

He who is silent is forgotten; he who does not advance falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed; out distanced, crushed; he who ceases t grow becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the condition of standing still is the beginning of the end.

Accept life, and you must accept regret.

Hope is only the love of life.
