Alfred de Musset

With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.

I cannot help it - in spite of myself, infinity torments me.

One must not trifle with love.

The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.

How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.

There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.

Great artists have no country.

Things they don't understand always cause a sensation among the English.

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.

The return makes one love the farewell.
