Alphonse de Lamartine
My dog! the difference between thee and me knows only our Creator.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Let us enjoy the fugitive hour. Man has no harbor, time has no shore it rushes on, and carries us with it.
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
