Alphonse Daudet (13 May 1840 – 16 December 1897) was a French novelist. He was the father of Léon Daudet and Lucien Daudet. He was born in Nîmes, France. His family, on both sides, belonged to the bourgeoisie. The father, Vincent Daudet, was a silk manufacturer — a man dogged through life by misfortune and failure. Alphonse, amid much truancy, had a depressing boyhood. In 1856 he left Lyons, where his schooldays had been mainly spent, and began life as a schoolteacher at Alès, Gard, in the south of France. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Alphonse+Daudet">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

  • La haine, c'est la colère des faibles!
  • Voyez-vous, mes enfants, quand le blé est mûr, il faut le couper; quand le vin est tiré, il faut le boire.
  • Les enfants sont comme les hommes, l'expérience d'autrui ne leur sert pas.
  • Méfie-toi de celui qui rit avant de parler!
  • Douleur toujours nouvelle pour celui qui souffre et qui se banalise pour l'entourage.
  • Habile façon dont la mort fauche, fait ses coupes, mais seulement des coupes sombres. Les générations ne tombent pas d'un coup; ce serait trop triste, trop visible. Par bribes. Le pré attaqué de plusieurs côtés à la fois. Un jour, l'un; l'autre, quelque temps après; il faut de la réflexion, un regard autour de soi pour se rendre compte du vide fait, de la vaste tuerie contemporaine.
