More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
For in those tacit understandings which maintain the bond of family union, the mother is really the mistress of her daughter only upon the condition of continually presenting herself to her as a model of wisdom and type of perfection.
Alexandre Dumas
As a general rule...people ask for advice only in order not to follow it or if they do follow it, in order to have someone to blame for giving it.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
that Englishman who came to challenge me three or four months ago, and whom I killed to stop him bothering me
Alexandre Dumas
I came to Paris with four écus in my pocket, and I’d have fought with anybody who told me I was in no condition to buy the Louvre.
Alexandre Dumas
Sometimes one has suffered enough to have the right to never say: I am too happy.
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
Alexandre Dumas
In all times, and all countries especially in those countries which are divided within by religious faith, there are always fanatics who will be well contented to be regarded as martyrs.
Alexandre Dumas
Without reflecting that this is the only moment in which you can study character, said the count on the steps of the scaffold death tears off the mask that has been worn through life, and the real visage is disclosed.
Alexandre Dumas
