I should enjoy at ease that lucky throw of the dice, which chance had turned up for me, the day of my birth and, with a secret, savage joy, I should say, So much the worse for the losers!--the world is a lottery. Woe to the conquered!
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
My mother was convinced, and on this head I have retained her firm belief, that to kill animals for the purpose of feeding on their flesh is one of the most deplorable and shameful infirmities of the human state that it is one of those curses cast upon man either by his fall, or by the obduracy of his own perversity.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Good manners require space and time.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Mystery hovers over all things here below.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Death, with funereal shades in vain surrounds me, My reason through his darkness seeth light: 'Tis the last step which brings me close to Thee: 'Tis the veil falling, 'twixt Thy face and mine.
Alphonse de Lamartine
It is the qualities of the heart, not those of the face, that should attract us in women, because the former are durable, the latter transitory. So lovable women, like roses, retain their sweetness long after they have lost their beauty.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.
Alphonse de Lamartine
