Alfred de Musset

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
Is is true that dictators never dream because they can change their smallest fantasies into realities if they want to?

How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
