Alphonse de Lamartine
An artist should have more than two eyes.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Every time that a people which has long crouched in slavery and ignorance is moved to its lowest depths there appear monsters and heroes, prodigies of crime and prodigies of virtue.
Alphonse de Lamartine
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Soul of the universe, Sire, God, Creator, Lord, I believe in Thee, 'neath all these names: And without having need to hear thy word, In the sky's brow my glorious creed I trace.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We are earth's children, and life is the same in sap as in blood all that the earth, our mother, feels and expresses to the eye by her form and aspect, in melancholy or in splendor, finds an echo within us.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Fiction is the microscope of truth.
