Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
The mouth keeps silent to hear the heart speak.
Alfred de Musset
The glass I drink from is not large, but at least it is my own.
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
A happy memory is perhaps on this earth truer than happiness itself.
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
Man is a pupil, pain is his teacher.
Alfred de Musset
In my flowery dreams there's always you. I do not regret it one bit.
Alfred de Musset
