More quotes by 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
A lively retrospect summons back to us once more our youth, with vivid reflex of its early joys and unstained pleasures.
Alfred de Musset
Taxes are a universal burden in moral as well as in civil life. There is not a pleasure, social or otherwise, which is not assessed by fate at its full value!

Alfred de Musset
In my flowery dreams there's always you. I do not regret it one bit.
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
Romanticism is the abuse of adjectives
Alfred de Musset
Great artists have no country.
Alfred de Musset
I could not clearly distinguish what was passing in my head it seemed to me that I was under the influence of a horrible dream and that I had but to awake to find myself cured at times it seemed that my entire life had been a dream, ridiculous and childish, the falseness of which had just been disclosed.
Alfred de Musset
The blood of my motherland waters a magic plant that cures all ills. That plant is art, and sometimes art needs corruption as a kind of fertilizer
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
With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
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
The life of a devotee is a crusade of which the heart is the Holy Land.
Alfred de Musset
