Additional quotes by Alfred de Musset

Je suis rongé d'une tristesse auprès de laquelle la nuit la plus sombre est une lumière éblouissante

Mes rivaux, sous mes yeux, sauront plaire et charmer.
Je resterai muet ; - moi, je ne sais qu'aimer

Le ciel m'en est témoin, dès le premier moment,
Je compris que l'aimer était peine inutile ;
Et cependant mon coeur prit un amer plaisir
À sentir qu'il aimait et qu'il allait souffrir !
