With a kiss let us set out for an unknown world.
— Alfred de Musset
The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
One must not trifle with love.
How glorious it is - and also how painful - to be an exception.
Things they don't understand always cause a sensation among the English.
I cannot help it - in spite of myself, infinity torments me.
There is no worse sorrow than remembering happiness in the day of sorrow.
Great artists have no country.
The return makes one love the farewell.
Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.
