More quotes by Alexandre Dumas

Image
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
Image
The friends we have lost do not repose under the ground...they are buried deep in our hearts. It has been thus ordained that they may always accompany us.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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

Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It was like the eve of a battle the hearts beat, the eyes laughed, and they felft that the life they were perhaps going to lose, was after all, a good thing.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It is not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree.
Alexandre Dumas

All for one, one for all, that is our device.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
God is full of mercy for everyone, as He has been towards you. He is a father before He is a judge.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Are there not some places where we seem to breathe sadness? — why, we cannot tell. It is a chain of recollections — an idea which carries you back to other times, to other places — which, very likely, have no connection with the present time and place.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
A rogue does not laugh in the same way that an honest man does a hypocrite does not shed the tears of a man of good faith. All falsehood is a mask and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention we may always succeed in distinguishing it from the true face.

It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
