Alexandre Dumas
Through the ingenuousness of her age beamed an ardent mind, a mind not of the women but of the poet she did not please, she intoxicated.
Alexandre Dumas
As a general rule...people ask for advice only in order not to follow it or if they do follow it, in order to have someone to blame for giving it.
Alexandre Dumas
To learn is not to know there are the learners and the learned. Memory makes the one, philosophy the others.
Alexandre Dumas
D’Artagnan: Why is Athos sitting by himself? Aramis: He takes his drinking very seriously. Not to worry, he’ll be his usual charming self by morning.
Alexandre Dumas
Be kind. Aim for my heart.
Alexandre Dumas
In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
