Widger's Quotes and Images from The Confession of a Child of the Century by Alfred de Musset: The French Immortals: Quotes and Images
Musset, Alfred de
Quotations, French -- Translations into English
"Unhappy man!" she cried, "you will
never know how to love"
We have had a mass celebrated, and it
cost us a large sum
What you take for love is nothing more
than desire
What human word will ever express thy
slightest caress
When passion sways man, reason follows
him weeping and warning
Who has told you that tears can wash
away the stains of guilt
Wine suffuses the face as if to prevent
shame appearing there
You believe in what is said here below
and not in what is done
You play with happiness as a child
plays with a rattle
You turn the leaves of dead books
Your great weapon is silence
Youth is to judge of the world from
first impressions
