You who are in power have only the means that money produces — we who are in expectation, have those which devotion prompts.
Alexandre Dumas
Image

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

Well, father, in the shipwreck of life, for life is an eternal shipwreck of our hopes, I cast into the sea my useless encumbrance, that is all, and I remain with my own will, disposed to live perfectly alone, and, consequently, perfectly free. (Eugenie to her father)

I am not proud, but I am happy and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.

Life is very tenacious in these lawyers.
Alexandre Dumas

We are always in a hurry to be happy... for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
We must never expect discretion in first love: it is accompanied by such excessive joy that unless the joy is allowed to overflow, it will choke you.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Fool that I am, said he,that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
It is the infirmity of our nature always to believe ourselves much more unhappy than those who groan by our sides!
Alexandre Dumas
Image
Moral wounds have this peculiarity - they may be hidden, but they never close always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain fresh and open in the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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

How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure!
