Alexandre Dumas
In love, writing is dangerous, not to mention pointless.
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
You who are in power have only the means that money produces — we who are in expectation, have those which devotion prompts.

Alexandre Dumas
But Valentine, why despair, why always paint the future in such sombre hues? Maximilien asked. Because, my friend, I judge it by the past.
Alexandre Dumas
Besides we are men, and after all it is our business to risk our lives.
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
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
Be happy, noble heart, be blessed for all the good thou hast done and wilt do hereafter, and let my gratitude remain in obscurity like your good deeds.
Alexandre Dumas
Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Alexandre Dumas
I am strong against everything, except against the death of those I love. He who dies gains he who sees others die loses.
Alexandre Dumas
In this world, all--men, women, and kings--must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God
Alexandre Dumas
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas
