More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine

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.

Before this century shall run out, journalism will be the whole press. Mankind will write their book day by day, hour by hour, page by page. Thought will spread abroad with the rapidity of light--instantly conceived, instantly written, instantly understood at the extremities of the earth.
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.
Alphonse de Lamartine
