More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
D’Artagnan: Why is Athos sitting by himself? Aramis: He takes his drinking very seriously. Not to worry, he’ll be his usual charming self by morning.
Alexandre Dumas
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.
Alexandre Dumas
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
Order is the key to all problems.
Alexandre Dumas
It is quite rare for God to provide a great man at the necessary moment to carry out some great deep, which is why when this unusual combination of circumstance does occur, history at once records the name of the chosen one and recommends him to the admiration of posterity.
Alexandre Dumas
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
The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.
Alexandre Dumas
......When one loves, one is only too ready to believe one's love returned.
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
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
Truly generous men are always ready to become sympathetic when their enemy’s misfortune surpasses the limits of their hatred.
Alexandre Dumas
Everyone knows that drunkards and lovers have a protecting diety.
Alexandre Dumas
In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
Alexandre Dumas
True, I have raped history, but it has produced some beautiful offspring.
Alexandre Dumas
...remember that what has once been done may be done again.
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
If you wish to discover the guilty person, first find out to whom the crime might be useful.
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
There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.
Alexandre Dumas
