More quotes by 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
The costliest women are the ones who cost nothing.
Alfred de Musset
Christianity ruined emperors, but saved peoples.
Alfred de Musset
Reason may cure illusions, but not suffering.
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
The mouth keeps silent to hear the heart speak.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
The life of a devotee is a crusade of which the heart is the Holy Land.
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
[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
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
With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
Alfred de Musset
I could not clearly distinguish what was passing in my head it seemed to me that I was under the influence of a horrible dream and that I had but to awake to find myself cured at times it seemed that my entire life had been a dream, ridiculous and childish, the falseness of which had just been disclosed.
Alfred de Musset
Happiness may have but one night, as glory but one day.
Alfred de Musset
Partake of love as a temperate man partakes of wine do not become intoxicated.
Alfred de Musset
