This date in 1790 saw the birth of Alphonse de Lamartine, French poet and politician. Here are some of his thoughts on people and dogs, love, fiction and truth.
- Only one being is wanting, and your whole world is bereft of people.
- To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
- There is no man more complete than the one who travelled a lot, who changed the shape of his thoughts and his life twenty times.
- Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart.
- The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
- We don't have two hearts, one for animals and one for humans; we have one heart or we don't have any.
- There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.
- Let us savour the swift delights of the most beautiful of our days!
- Fiction is the microscope of truth.
- When a dog is in your life, there is always a reason to laugh.
