Christianity ruined emperors, but saved peoples.
Alfred de Musset
The blood of my motherland waters a magic plant that cures all ills. That plant is art, and sometimes art needs corruption as a kind of fertilizer
Alfred de Musset
I deeply wished I could make the stars all come down and breathe them disappear in them
Alfred de Musset
Vanity and dignity are incompatible with each other vain women are almost sure to be vulnerable.
Alfred de Musset
Know that there is often hidden in us a dormant poet, always young and alive.
Alfred de Musset
There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.
Alfred de Musset
A happy memory is perhaps on this earth truer than happiness itself.
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
I cannot help it - in spite of myself, infinity torments me.
Alfred de Musset
The only true language in the world is a kiss.
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
Perfection does not exist to understand it is the triumph of human intelligence to expect to possess it is the most dangerous kind of madness.
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
Reason may cure illusions, but not suffering.
Alfred de Musset
I have come too late into a world too old.
Alfred de Musset
Taxes are a universal burden in moral as well as in civil life. There is not a pleasure, social or otherwise, which is not assessed by fate at its full value!
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
life is a deep sleep of which love is the dream
Alfred de Musset
In love matters keep your pen from paper.
Alfred de Musset
... but one loves, and when one is on the brink of death, one turns around to look backward, and one says to oneself: I have often suffered, I have sometimes been wrong, but I have loved.
Alfred de Musset
