Alexandre Dumas
And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude... I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.
Alexandre Dumas
...know you not that you are my sun by day, and my star by night? By my faith! I was in deepest darkness till you appeared and illuminated all.
