More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine
If they say you have your last chance to look at the world, I wish that look would from Çamlıca of Istanbul.
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

Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Sad is his lot, who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
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
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
Fiction is the microscope of truth.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Mystery hovers over all things here below.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man hath no Heaven and Time's coast is chartless. He speeds we pass away!
Alphonse de Lamartine
