Victor Cherbuliez (1829 – 1899) was a French novelist and author born in Geneva, Switzerland. Cherbuliez was a prolific and successful writer of fiction. His first book, titled Un Cheval de Phidias, is a romantic study of art in the golden age of Athens. He went on to produce a series of novels. His books are distinguished by a freshness and honesty, fortified by cosmopolitan knowledge and lightened by unobtrusive humor, which accounts for their wide popularity in many countries besides his own.
Quotes by Victor Cherbuliez…
Wisdom consists in performing only useful actions.
Our reason is so weak that a trifle is enough to trouble and intoxicate it.
In society as it is now constituted, all the established rules have so many mechanical duties, while real duty consists in obeying the laws of our own being.
