More quotes by Alfred de Musset
Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.
Alfred de Musset
Doubt, if you will, the being who loves you, Woman or dog, but never doubt love itself.
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
In love matters keep your pen from paper.
Alfred de Musset
What a frightful weapon is human thought! It is our defense and our safeguard, the most precious gift that God has made us. It is ours and it obeys us we may launch it forth into space, but, once outside of our feeble brains, it is gone we can no longer control it.
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
[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
The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
Alfred de Musset
It is easy to promise, and alas! How easy to forget!
Alfred de Musset
Few persons enjoy real liberty we are all slaves to ideas or habits.
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
There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.
Alfred de Musset
The only true language in the world is a kiss.
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 heart that once has been your shrine for other loves is too divine
Alfred de Musset
How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
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 don't know where my road is going, but I know that I walk better when I hold your hand.
Alfred de Musset
Things they don't understand always cause a sensation among the English.
Alfred de Musset
