More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Now I'd like someone to tell me there is no drama in real life!
Alexandre Dumas
Capricious and unfaithful, the king wished to be called Louis the Just and Louis the Chaste. Posterity will find a difficulty in understanding this character, which history explains only by facts and never by reason.
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
I'm sure you're very nice, but you'd be even nicer if you went away.
Alexandre Dumas
Haste is a poor counselor
Alexandre Dumas
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.
Alexandre Dumas
As a general rule...people ask for advice only in order not to follow it or if they do follow it, in order to have someone to blame for giving it.
Alexandre Dumas
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
How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure!
Alexandre Dumas
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.
Alexandre Dumas
Your bitter memories still have time to turn into sweet ones.
Alexandre Dumas
Darling, replied Valentine, has not the count just told us that all human wisdom was contained in these two words,- Wait and hope?
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
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
Alexandre Dumas
(...) the tree forsakes not the flower: the flower falls from the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.
Alexandre Dumas
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity opportunity is the martingale of man. The more we have ventured the more we gain, when we know how to wait.
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
