The return makes one love the farewell.
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
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
I have come too late into a world too old.
Alfred de Musset

Alfred de Musset
How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
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
The only true language in the world is a kiss.
Alfred de Musset
Experience is the name men give to their follies or their sorrows.
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
There are temptations more attractive than angels. Liberty, Patriotism, the good of humanity – words like that are the silver scales of the Tempter’s flaming wings
Alfred de Musset
life is a deep sleep of which love is the dream
Alfred de Musset
Christianity ruined emperors, but saved peoples.
Alfred de Musset
Is is true that dictators never dream because they can change their smallest fantasies into realities if they want to?
Alfred de Musset
Doubt, if you will, the being who loves you, Woman or dog, but never doubt love itself.
Alfred de Musset
