Additional quotes by Alfred de Vigny

A calm despair, without angry convulsions or reproaches directed at heaven, is the essence of wisdom.

To hold power has always meant to manipulate idiots and circumstances; and those circumstances and those idiots, tossed together, bring about those coincidences to which even the greatest men confess they owe most of their fame

À voir ce que l’on fut sur terre et ce qu'on laisse
Seul le silence est grand; tout le reste est faiblesse.
