Joseph Roux quotes

Solitude vivifies; isolation kills.

When unhappy, one doubts everything; when happy, one doubts nothing.

The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable.

Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite expressions.

Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than of wisdom acquired.

Poetry is truth in its Sunday clothes.
