Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, Do your worst, for I will do mine! and you will be remembered forever.
Alexandre Dumas
In love, writing is dangerous, not to mention pointless.
Alexandre Dumas
It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising
Alexandre Dumas
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
