Life is a sleep, love is a dream and you have lived if you have loved.

Partake of love as a temperate man partakes of wine do not become intoxicated.
Alfred de Musset
Oh! my friend, when you feel bursting on your lips the vow of eternal love, do not be afraid to yield, but do not confound wine with intoxication do not think the cup divine because the draft is of celestial flavor do not be astonished to find it broken and empty in the evening.

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 most disagreeable thing that your worst enemy says to your face does not approach what your best friends say behind your back.
Alfred de Musset
Things they don't understand always cause a sensation among the English.
Alfred de Musset
