Alexandre Dumas
For there are two distinct sorts of ideas: Those that proceed from the head and those that emanate from the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
So rapid is the flight of our dreams upon the wings of imagination.
Alexandre Dumas
If it is ones lot to be cast among fools, one must learn foolishness.-The Count of Monte Cristo
Alexandre Dumas
