Alfred de Musset
Reason may cure illusions, but not suffering.
Alfred de Musset
If love is a play, this play, as old as the world, fiasco or not, it is, all in all, the least bad thing that has so far been found. The roles are trite, I admit, but if the play had no value the whole universe wouldn’t know it by heart
Alfred de Musset
Look at the sun! It’s dry, it’s dead, it needs a drink, it wants blood! And I’ll give it blood!
Alfred de Musset
There are temptations more attractive than angels. Liberty, Patriotism, the good of humanity – words like that are the silver scales of the Tempter’s flaming wings

Alfred de Musset
The fumes of wine fermented in my head it was one of those moments of intoxication when all that ones sees and hears, speaks to one of the adored.... One would willingly embrace all who smile, and one feels that he is brother of all who live.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
Great artists have no country.
Alfred de Musset
Take time as it comes, the wind as it blows, woman as she is.
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
Romanticism is the abuse of adjectives
Alfred de Musset
The only truth is love beyond reason.
Alfred de Musset
[I]f you are truly a man, sure of yourself and confident of your strength, you may taste of life without fear and without reserve you may be sad or joyous, deceived or respected but be sure you are loved, for what matters the rest?
Alfred de Musset
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
I can't help it, the idea of the infinite torments me.
Alfred de Musset
The soft contralto notes of a woman's voice are born in the immediate region of the heart.
Alfred de Musset
The apartments of the rich are cabinets of curiosities: a conglomeration of classical antiquity, gothic, renaissance Louis XIII... Something from every century but our own, a predicament that has arisen in no other period... so that we seem to be subsisting on the ruins of the past, as if the end of the world were near.
Alfred de Musset
