Nerval

Famous quotes containing the word nerval:

    Every flower is a soul blossoming in Nature.
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)

    It has been rightly said that nothing is unimportant, nothing powerless in the universe; a single atom can dissolve everything, and save everything! What terror! There lies the eternal distinction between good and evil.
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)

    How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
