Love is faith, and one faith leads to another.

Action is only coarsened thought-thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.

Henri-Frédéric Amiel

1821-09-27 — 1881-05-11 · Genebra

Henri-Frédéric Amiel was a Swiss philosopher, literary critic, and diarist. Born in Geneva, he spent much of his academic life in this city, where he taught aesthetics at the University of Geneva. He is best known for his "Intimate Journal", a vast and introspective work that he began in his youth and continued until his death. This journal offers a profound portrait of his inner life, his intellectual and emotional struggles, and his observations on society and art. Despite having a respectable academic career, his posthumous fame is largely due to this work, which continues to be studied for its psychological and literary value.
