More quotes by Alfred de Musset
A happy memory is perhaps on this earth truer than happiness 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
Experience is the name men give to their follies or their sorrows.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
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
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
life is a deep sleep of which love is the dream
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
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
Man is a pupil, pain is his teacher.
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
Life is a sleep, love is a dream and you have lived if you have loved.
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
Vanity and dignity are incompatible with each other vain women are almost sure to be vulnerable.
Alfred de Musset
Doubt, if you will, the being who loves you, Woman or dog, but never doubt love itself.
Alfred de Musset
There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.
Alfred de Musset
In love matters keep your pen from paper.
Alfred de Musset
With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
Alfred de Musset
The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
Alfred de Musset
