More quotes by 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
His fair landlady was in despair. She would most willingly have made M. d'Artagnan her husband--such a handsome man, and such a fierce mustache!
Alexandre Dumas
Everyone knows that drunkards and lovers have a protecting diety.
Alexandre Dumas
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
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
It is only the dead who do not return.
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
We are never quits with those who oblige us, was Dantes' reply for when we do not owe them money, we owe them gratitude.
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
It is quite rare for God to provide a great man at the necessary moment to carry out some great deep, which is why when this unusual combination of circumstance does occur, history at once records the name of the chosen one and recommends him to the admiration of posterity.
Alexandre Dumas
When a man resolves to avenge himself, he should first of all tear out the heart from his breast.
Alexandre Dumas
Here is your final lesson - do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said, Vengeance is mine. [...] He believes in you.
Alexandre Dumas
Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it.
Alexandre Dumas
Ah, lips that say one thing, while the heart thinks another.
Alexandre Dumas
I am a count, not a saint.
Alexandre Dumas
Love is the most selfish of all the passions.
Alexandre Dumas
Women are never so strong as after their defeat.
Alexandre Dumas
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas
Fool that I am, said he,that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself.
Alexandre Dumas
Philosophy cannot be taught it is the application of the sciences to truth.
