I loved too sincerely, too com...

I loved too sincerely, too completely, I venture to say, to be able to be happy easily.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

But I am mistaken in speaking ...

But I am mistaken in speaking of a Christian republic; the terms are mutually exclusive. Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence. Its spirit is so favorable to tyranny that it always profits by such a regime. True Christians are made to be slaves, and they know it and do not much mind; this short life counts for too little in their eyes.

The apparent ease with which children learn is their ruin.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It is hard to prevent oneself ...

It is hard to prevent oneself from believing what one so keenly desires.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I believed that I was approach...

I believed that I was approaching the end of my days without having tasted to the full any of the pleasures for which my heart thirsted...without having ever tasted that passion which, through lack of an object, was always suppressed. ...The impossibility of attaining the real persons precipitated me into the land of chimeras; and seeing nothing that existed worthy of my exalted feelings, I fostered them in an ideal world which my creative imagination soon peopled with beings after my own heart.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

I may not amount to much, but ...

I may not amount to much, but at least I am unique.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Provided a man is not mad, he ...

Provided a man is not mad, he can be cured of every folly but vanity.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Luxury either comes of riches ...

Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary; it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

The most absolute authority is...

The most absolute authority is that which penetrates into a man's innermost being and concerns itself no less with his will than with his actions.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

But in some great souls, who consider themselves as citizens of the world, and forcing the imaginary barriers that separate people from people...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

He certainly deserved the name...

He certainly deserved the name better than those who had assumed it.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Teach him to live rather than ...

Teach him to live rather than to avoid death: life is not breath, but action, the use of our senses, our mind, our faculties, every part of ourselves which makes us conscious of our being. Life consists less in length of days than in the keen sense of living. A man maybe buried at a hundred and may never have lived at all. He would have fared better had he died young.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Do not base your life on the j...

Do not base your life on the judgments of others; first, because they are as likely to be mistaken as you are, and further, because you cannot know that they are telling you their true thoughts.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

There is not a single ill-doer...

There is not a single ill-doer who could not be turned to some good.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

If there wasn't a God we would...

If there wasn't a God we would have to invent one to keep people sane.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

It has always pleased me to read while eating if I have no companion; it gives me the society I lack. I devour alternately a page and a mouthful; it is as though my book were dining with me.

The French, for example, are a contemptible nation.

Reason deceives us; conscience, never.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Everything we do not have at o...

Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given to us by education.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau 486 quotes

Everything is in constant flux...

Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creatures of a moment...
