Alfred De Vigny quotes
" Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty. "

Alfred De Vigny
" But it is the province of religion, of philosophy, of pure poetry only, to go beyond life, beyond time, into eternity. "

Alfred De Vigny
" Do you know that charming part of our country which has been called the garden of France - that spot where, amid verdant plains watered by wide streams, one inhales the purest air of heaven? "

Alfred De Vigny
" Do you not see with your own eyes the chrysalis fact assume by degrees the wings of fiction? "

Alfred De Vigny
" France, for example, loves at the same time history and the drama, because the one explores the vast destinies of humanity, and the other the individual lot of man. "

Alfred De Vigny
" From this, without doubt, sprang the fable. Man created it thus, because it was not given him to see more than himself and nature, which surrounds him; but he created it true with a truth all its own. "

Alfred De Vigny
" I think, then, that man, after having satisfied his first longing for facts, wanted something fuller - some grouping, some adaptation to his capacity and experience, of the links of this vast chain of events which his sight could not take in. "

Alfred De Vigny
" Just as we descend into our consciences to judge of actions which our minds can not weigh, can we not also search in ourselves for the feeling which gives birth to forms of thought, always vague and cloudy? "

Alfred De Vigny
" Let us dream that once upon a time have lived men stronger and greater, who were more determined for good or for evil; that does us good. "

Alfred De Vigny
" No writer, no matter how gifted, immortalizes himself unless he has crystallized into expressive and original phrase the eternal sentiments and yearnings of the human heart. "

Alfred De Vigny
" Of late years (perhaps as a result of our political changes) art has borrowed from history more than ever. "

Alfred De Vigny
" Of what use is the memory of facts, if not to serve as an example of good or of evil? "

Alfred De Vigny
" Of what use were the arts if they were only the reproduction and the imitation of life? "

Alfred De Vigny
" On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born. "

Alfred De Vigny
" One might almost reckon mathematically that, having undergone the double composition of public opinion and of the author, their history reaches us at third hand and is thus separated by two stages from the original fact. "
