Alfred de Musset
If you are weak, dependent upon others, inclined to allow yourself to be dominated by opinion, to take root wherever you see a little soil, make for yourself a shield that will resist everything, for if you yield to your weaker nature you will not grow, you will dry up like a dead plant, and you will bear neither fruit nor flowers.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
Oh! my friend, when you feel bursting on your lips the vow of eternal love, do not be afraid to yield, but do not confound wine with intoxication do not think the cup divine because the draft is of celestial flavor do not be astonished to find it broken and empty in the evening.
Alfred de Musset
I deeply wished I could make the stars all come down and breathe them disappear in them
Alfred de Musset
One must not trifle with love
Alfred de Musset
Life is a sleep, love is a dream and you have lived if you have loved.

Man is a pupil, pain is his teacher.

As all the perfumes of the vanished dayRise from the earth still moistened with the dewSo from my chastened soul beneath thy rayOld love is born anew.
Alfred de Musset
