It is the way of weakened minds to see everything through a black cloud. The soul forms its own horizons your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising

More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas
There are people who are willing to suffer and swallow their tears at leisure, and God will no doubt reward them in heaven for their resignation but those who have the will to struggle strike back at fate in retaliation for the blows they receive.
Alexandre Dumas
Time, dear friend, time brings round opportunity opportunity is the martingale of man. The more we have ventured the more we gain, when we know how to wait.
Alexandre Dumas
I do not often laugh, sir, as you may perceive by the air of my countenance but nevertheless, I retain the privilege of laughing when I please.
Alexandre Dumas
Porthos: He thinks he can challenge the mighty Porthos with a sword... D'Artagnan: The mighty who? Porthos: Don't tell me you've never heard of me. D'Artagnan: The world's biggest windbag?

Alexandre Dumas
...joy takes a strange effect at times, it seems to oppress us almost the same as sorrow.
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
It was like the eve of a battle the hearts beat, the eyes laughed, and they felft that the life they were perhaps going to lose, was after all, a good thing.
Alexandre Dumas
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
Alexandre Dumas
The merit of all things lies in their difficulty.
Alexandre Dumas
Pain, thou art not an evil
Alexandre Dumas
In love, writing is dangerous, not to mention pointless.
Alexandre Dumas
...but my friends call me Edmund Dantes.
Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantes: I don't believe in God. Abbe Faria: That doesn't matter, He believes in you.
Alexandre Dumas
He's right: They have to put madmen with madmen.
Alexandre Dumas
It is not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
Through the ingenuousness of her age beamed an ardent mind, a mind not of the women but of the poet she did not please, she intoxicated.
Alexandre Dumas
Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it.
Alexandre Dumas
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
You scholars, you're in communication with the devil.
Alexandre Dumas
