Alexandre Dumas
Truly generous men are always ready to become sympathetic when their enemy’s misfortune surpasses the limits of their hatred.
Alexandre Dumas
Misfortune does not help us to believe.
Alexandre Dumas
Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, Do your worst, for I will do mine! and you will be remembered forever.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
It is only the dead who do not return.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
Woman is sacred the woman one loves is holy.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
We’ll go where the air is pure, where all sounds are soothing, where, no matter how proud one may be, one feels humble and finds oneself small- in short, we’ll go to the sea. I love the sea as one loves a mistress and I long for her when I haven’t seen her for some time
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
Alexandre Dumas
Besides we are men, and after all it is our business to risk our lives.
Alexandre Dumas
that Englishman who came to challenge me three or four months ago, and whom I killed to stop him bothering me
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, said the jailer, do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another.
