Philosophy Quote by Marguerite Yourcenar — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“This city belongs to ghosts, to murderers, to sleepwalkers. Where are you, in what bed, in what dream?”

“I am not sure that the discovery of love is necessarily more exquisite than the discovery of poetry.”

“Tout bonheur est un chef-d'oeuvre: la moindre erreur le fausse, la moindre hésitation l'altère, la moindre lourder le dépare, la moindre sottise l'abêtit.”

“Religion and mental health have always overlapped in their attempts to understand troubled minds. Is that voice divine revelation or auditory hallucination? Is ego dissolution mystical or pathological?”

“I pretend not to be a champion of that same naked virtue called truth, to the very outrance. I can consent that her charms be hidden with a veil, were it but for decency's sake.”

“The reason why some people can’t go far in life. It is because of the weight on their shoulder. They have a heavy burden on them. This burden consist of screenshots, messages , conversation and secrets. That can destroy families or someone's life. It consists of grudges, hate, anger, revenge, jealousy, gossip, lies and envy. Their hearts is overloaded. They are holding on to others past and mistakes.”

“I don't want to be a tree; I want to be its meaning.”

“...an optimistic mind-set finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable.”
