I am hungry, feed me I am bored, amuse me.
Alexandre Dumas
When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.
Alexandre Dumas

Pain, thou art not an evil
Alexandre Dumas
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
I do not often laugh, sir, as you may perceive by the air of my countenance but nevertheless, I retain the privilege of laughing when I please.
Alexandre Dumas
In politics, my dear fellow, you know, as well as I do, there are no men, but ideas — no feelings, but interests in politics we do not kill a man, we only remove an obstacle, that is all.
Alexandre Dumas
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
Alexandre Dumas
Unfortunates, who ought to begin with God, do not have any hope in him till they have exhausted all other means of deliverance.
Alexandre Dumas
Misfortune does not help us to believe.
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
You who weep for pleasures fled, While dragging on a life of care, All your woes will melt in air, If to god your tears are shed, You who Weap!
Alexandre Dumas
God is full of mercy for everyone, as He has been towards you. He is a father before He is a judge.
Alexandre Dumas
