More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Too much I've seen, and felt, and lov'd in life, Living I come to seek Lethaean calm Let me, fair scenes! forget all worldly strife, Oblivion solely is my bosom's balm.

The photographer will never replace the painter one is a man, the other a machine. Let us compare them no longer. (1848)
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man, it seems, is not able to bear the languid rest on Nature's bosom, and when the trumpet sounds the signal of danger, he hastens to join his comrades, no matter what the cause that calls him to arms. He rushes into the thickest of the fight, and amid the uproar of the battle regains confidence in himself and his powers.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
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
Modesty and dew love the shade.
Alphonse de Lamartine
