Porthos: He thinks he can challenge the mighty Porthos with a sword... D'Artagnan: The mighty who? Porthos: Don't tell me you've never heard of me. D'Artagnan: The world's biggest windbag? Porthos: Little pimple... meet me behind the Luxembourg at 1 o'clock and bring a long wooden box. D'Artagnan: Bring your own... Porthos: [laughs]

Alexandre Dumas
Image
I am strong against everything, except against the death of those I love. He who dies gains he who sees others die loses.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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

He's right: They have to put madmen with madmen.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
The hungry men were seen, followed by their valets, roaming the quais and guards' quarters gleaning from their outside friends all the dinners they could find for, according to Aramis, in prosperity one should sow meals right and left, in order to harvest some in adversity.
Alexandre Dumas
