Alfred Victor Vigny
Above all, we must abolish hope in the heart of man. A calm despair, without angry convulsions, without reproaches to Heaven, is the essence of wisdom.
Every man has seen the wall that limits his mind.
Fainthearted animals move about in herds. The lion walks alone in the desert. Let the poet always walk thus.
Greatness is the dream of youth realized in old age.
Perform your long and heavy task with energy, treading the path to which Fate has been pleased to call you.
