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

Alfred de Musset
The mouth keeps silent to hear the heart speak.
Alfred de Musset
