An original writer is not one who imitates nobody but one whom nobody can imitate.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
A moral character is attached to autumnal scenes; the leaves falling like our years, the flowers fading like our hours, the clouds fleeting like our illusions, the light diminishing like our intelligence, the sun growing colder like our affections, the rivers becoming frozen like our lives--all bear secret relations to our destinies.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
Purgatory surpasses heaven and hell in poetry, because it represents a future and the others do not.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between her work and her play; her labor and her leisure; her mind and her body; her education and her recreation. She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine if she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand

Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
L’arbre tombe feuille à feuille : si les hommes contemplaient chaque matin ce qu’ils ont perdu la veille, ils s’apercevraient bien de leur pauvreté.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
Le passé et le présent sont deux statues incomplètes: l'une a été retirée toute mutilée du débris des âges, l'autre n'a pas encore reçu sa perfection de l'avenir.
