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
Women are never so strong as after their defeat.
Alexandre Dumas
That is a dream also only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
I'm sure you're very nice, but you'd be even nicer if you went away.
Alexandre Dumas
