Je connais peu les femmes; mais il me semble qu'il est difficile qu'on admire ce qu'on ne comprend pas - Alfred de Musset

Dépouille devant tous l’orgueil qui te dévore,
Cœur gonflé d’amertume et qui t’es cru fermé.
Aime, et tu renaîtras ; fais-toi fleur, pour éclore ;
Après avoir souffert, il faut souffrir encore ;
Il faut aimer sans cesse, après avoir aimé.

All men are liars, inconstant, hollow, talkative, hypocrites, proud and cowards, contemptible and sensual; all woman are perfidious, artificial, vain, curious and depraved; the world is nothing but a bottomless sewer where the most shapeless seals crawl and wriggle on mountains of muck; but there one single thing in this world, saint and sublime, it’s the union of these two beings so imperfect and dreadful. We are often deceived in love, often wounded and often miserable; but we love, and when we are on of the verge of the grave, we look back, and we say: I often suffered, I erred sometimes: but I loved. It is me who lived and not a factitious being created by my pride and my boredom.

I can't help it, the idea of the infinite torments me.
