Hippolyte Taine Quotes


A French critic and historian.
Hippolyte Adolphe Taine (21 April 1828 – 5 March 1893) was a French critic and historian. He was the chief theoretical influence of French naturalism, a major proponent of sociological positivism, and one of the first practitioners of historicist criticism. Literary historicism as a critical movement has been said to originate with him. Taine is particularly remembered for his three-pronged approach to the contextual study of a work of art, based on the aspects of what he called "race, milieu, and moment".

Here are some famous quotes by Hippolyte Taine. 




I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.

There are four varieties in society; the lovers the ambitious observers and fools. The fools are the happiest.
