The life of a devotee is a crusade of which the heart is the Holy Land.
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
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
Experience is the name men give to their follies or their sorrows.
Alfred de Musset
Partake of love as a temperate man partakes of wine do not become intoxicated.
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
Doubt, if you will, the being who loves you, Woman or dog, but never doubt love itself.
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
The glass I drink from is not large, but at least it is my own.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
The costliest women are the ones who cost nothing.
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
I can't help it, the idea of the infinite torments me.
Alfred de Musset
Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.
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
I cannot help it - in spite of myself, infinity torments me.
Alfred de Musset
Reason may cure illusions, but not suffering.
Alfred de Musset
Memory is what makes us young or old.
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
Nothing is a sin when you obey the orders of a priest
