Henri Frederic Amiel
I am a spectator, so to speak, of the molecular whirlwind which men call individual life I am conscious of an incessant metamorphosis, an irresistible movement of existence, which is going on within me - and this phenomenology of myself serves as a window opened upon the mystery of the world.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
Man is saved by love and duty, and by the hope that springs from duty, or rather from the moral facts of consciousness, as a flower springs from the soil.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Let us be true: this is the highest maxim of art and of life, the secret of eloquence and of virtue, and of all moral authority.
Henri Frederic Amiel
If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Every man is a priest, even involuntarily his conduct is an unspoken sermon, which is forever preaching to others.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Life alone can rekindle life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The musician of the present day, not being able to give us what is beautiful, torments himself to give us what is new.
Henri Frederic Amiel
