More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Those born to wealth, and who have the means of gratifying every wish, know not what is the real happiness of life, just as those who have been tossed on the stormy waters of the ocean on a few frail planks can alone realize the blessings of fair weather.
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
When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.

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
What I’ve loved most after you, is myself: that is, my dignity and that strength which made me superior to other men. That Strength was my life. You’ve broken it with a word, so I must die.
Alexandre Dumas
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas
D’Artagnan: Why is Athos sitting by himself? Aramis: He takes his drinking very seriously. Not to worry, he’ll be his usual charming self by morning.
Alexandre Dumas
Every individual, from the highest to the lowest degree, has his place in the ladder of social life, and around him swirls a little world of interests, composed of stormy passions and conflicting atoms
Alexandre Dumas
Joy to hearts which have suffered long is like the dew on the ground after a long drought both the heart and the ground absorb that beneficent moisture falling on them, and nothing is outwardly apparant.
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
Are there not some places where we seem to breathe sadness? — why, we cannot tell. It is a chain of recollections — an idea which carries you back to other times, to other places — which, very likely, have no connection with the present time and place.
Alexandre Dumas
Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, Do your worst, for I will do mine! and you will be remembered forever.
Alexandre Dumas
I love the life you've always made so sweet for me and I'd regret it if I had to die.' 'Do you mean to say that if I left you---' 'I'd die, yes.' 'Then you love me?
