One's work may be finished someday, but one's education never.
Alexandre Dumas
Athos liked every one to exercise his own free-will. He never gave his advice before it was demanded and even then it must be demanded twice. In general, people only ask for advice, he said that they may not follow it or if they should follow it that they may have somebody to blame for having given it.
Alexandre Dumas
He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.
Alexandre Dumas
