What a fool I was, not to tear my heart out on the day when I resolved to revenge myself!
Alexandre Dumas
It is not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
Alexandre Dumas
Women are never so strong as after their defeat.
Alexandre Dumas
In business, sir, one has no friends, only correspondents.
Alexandre Dumas
I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol.
