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

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

Society rests upon conscience, not upon science.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Are we not all shipwrecked,...condemned to death?... However impatient our neighbours make us, however much indignation our race arouses, we are all bound together, and the companions of a chain-gang have everything to lose by mutual insults...

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

What we call little things are...

What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

I find myself regarding existence as though from beyond the tomb, from another world; all is strange to me; I am, as it were, outside my own body and individuality; I am depersonalized, detached, cut adrift. Is this madness?

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The test of every religious, p...

The test of every religious, political, or educational system, is the man which it forms. If a system injures the intelligence it is bad. If it injures the character it is vicious. If it injures the conscience it is criminal.

Happiness gives us the energy which is the basis of health.

Unconsciousness, spontaneity, instinct ... hold us to the earth and dictate the relatively good and useful.

To feel keenly the poetry of a morning's roses, one has to have just escaped from the claws of this vulture which we call sickness.

A belief is not true simply because it is useful.
