René de Chateaubriand Quote

Political truth, in whatever form it may appear, is nothing more than order and freedom.

While the heart has desire, the imagination retains illusions.

Forests precede civilizations, deserts follow them.

Our illusions know no bounds; we taste the bitterness of the cup a thousand times and yet, we still bring our lips to its edge.

The death penalty has only been perpetuated by a kind of legal crime.

I do not believe that the art of quotation is within the reach of those small spirits who, finding nothing within themselves, must take everything from others.

A good action is an insolent lesson for those who do not have the courage to execute it.

The dream devours existence: that's the good part.

Heaven rarely makes it so that the man who wants and the man who can are born together.

The independence of thought is the noblest aristocracy.

The threat of the strongest always makes me stand by the weakest.
