More quotes by Alfred de Musset
Man is a pupil, pain is his teacher.
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
The most disagreeable thing that your worst enemy says to your face does not approach what your best friends say behind your back.
Alfred de Musset
Happiness may have but one night, as glory but one day.
Alfred de Musset
One must not trifle with love
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
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
The life of a devotee is a crusade of which the heart is the Holy Land.
Alfred de Musset
I don't know where my road is going, but I know that I walk better when I hold your hand.
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
Partake of love as a temperate man partakes of wine do not become intoxicated.
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
Is is true that dictators never dream because they can change their smallest fantasies into realities if they want to?
Alfred de Musset
With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
Alfred de Musset
Romanticism is the abuse of adjectives
Alfred de Musset
Few persons enjoy real liberty we are all slaves to ideas or habits.
Alfred de Musset
The only truth is love beyond reason.
Alfred de Musset
The mouth keeps silent to hear the heart speak.
Alfred de Musset
Become corrupt, corrupt, and you will cease to suffer! This has been the cry of all cities to man.
Alfred de Musset
What I need is a woman who is something, anything: either very beautiful or very kind or in the last resort very wicked very witty or very stupid, but something.
Alfred de Musset
