More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
In all times, and all countries especially in those countries which are divided within by religious faith, there are always fanatics who will be well contented to be regarded as martyrs.
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
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Alexandre Dumas
Pain, thou art not an evil
Alexandre Dumas
What I’ve loved most after you, is myself: that is, my dignity and that strength which made me superior to other men. That Strength was my life. You’ve broken it with a word, so I must die.
Alexandre Dumas
Your life story is a novel and people, though they love novels wound between two yellow paper covers, are oddly suspicious of those which come to them in living vellum.
Alexandre Dumas
I'm sure you're very nice, but you'd be even nicer if you went away.
Alexandre Dumas
...but my friends call me Edmund Dantes.
Alexandre Dumas
(...) the tree forsakes not the flower: the flower falls from the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
True love always makes a man better, no matter who the woman is that inspires it.
Alexandre Dumas
I am a count, not a saint.
Alexandre Dumas
To save a man and thereby to spare a father's agony and a mother's feelings is not to do a noble deed, it is but an act of humanity.
Alexandre Dumas
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
Alexandre Dumas
Mastery of language affords one remarkable opportunities.
Alexandre Dumas
Athos liked every one to exercise his own free-will. He never gave his advice before it was demanded and even then it must be demanded twice. In general, people only ask for advice, he said that they may not follow it or if they should follow it that they may have somebody to blame for having given it.
Alexandre Dumas
I am hungry, feed me I am bored, amuse me.
Alexandre Dumas
For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God.
Alexandre Dumas
Upon my word, said Dantes, you make me shudder. Is the world filled with tigers and crocodiles? Yes and remember that two legged tigers and crocodiles are more dangerous than the others.
Alexandre Dumas
I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die.
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, said the jailer, do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.
