Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I loved too sincerely, too completely, I venture to say, to be able to be happy easily.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The infant, on opening his eyes, ought to see his country, and to the hour of his death never lose sight of it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I hate books they only teach people to talk about what they don't understand.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
