Henri Frédéric Amiel (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʁi fʁedeʁik amjɛl]; 27 September 1821 – 11 May 1881) was a Swiss moral philosopher, poet, and critic.
Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart.
Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
—Jacqueline Woodson in Between Madison and Palmetto
