More quotes by Alfred de Musset
The return makes one love the farewell.
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
In love matters keep your pen from paper.
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
Partake of love as a temperate man partakes of wine do not become intoxicated.
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
Disgrace is the synonym of discovery.
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
Romanticism is the abuse of adjectives
Alfred de Musset
Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.
Alfred de Musset
In my flowery dreams there's always you. I do not regret it one bit.
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
I have come too late into a world too old.
Alfred de Musset
The only true language in the world is a kiss.
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
One must not trifle with love
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
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
The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
Alfred de Musset
Nothing is a sin when you obey the orders of a priest
Alfred de Musset
