More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
You are very amiable, no doubt, but you would be charming if you would only depart.
Alexandre Dumas
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it.
Alexandre Dumas
(...) the tree forsakes not the flower: the flower falls from the tree.
Alexandre Dumas
......When one loves, one is only too ready to believe one's love returned.
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
To learn is not to know there are the learners and the learned. Memory makes the one, philosophy the others.
Alexandre Dumas
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
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
There is no friendship that cares about an overheard secret.
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
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
That is a dream also only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?
Alexandre Dumas
In politics, my dear fellow, you know, as well as I do, there are no men, but ideas — no feelings, but interests in politics we do not kill a man, we only remove an obstacle, that is all.
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
Alexandre Dumas
Your life story is a novel and people, though they love novels wound between two yellow paper covers, are oddly suspicious of those which come to them in living vellum.
Alexandre Dumas
The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow - so arbitrary are these transient laws.
Alexandre Dumas
Upon my word, said Dantes, you make me shudder. Is the world filled with tigers and crocodiles? Yes and remember that two legged tigers and crocodiles are more dangerous than the others.
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
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
