...remember that what has once been done may be done again.
Alexandre Dumas
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
It is only the dead who do not return.
Alexandre Dumas

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
...joy takes a strange effect at times, it seems to oppress us almost the same as sorrow.
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
For there are two distinct sorts of ideas: Those that proceed from the head and those that emanate from the heart.
Alexandre Dumas
Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.
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
The friends we have lost do not repose under the ground...they are buried deep in our hearts. It has been thus ordained that they may always accompany us.
Alexandre Dumas
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas
You who weep for pleasures fled, While dragging on a life of care, All your woes will melt in air, If to god your tears are shed, You who Weap!
Alexandre Dumas
I have been taken by Satan into the highest mountain in the earth, and when there he said he to me, ‘Child of earth, what wouldst thou have to make thee adore me?’ I replied, ‘Listen, I wish to be Providence myself, for I feel that the most beautiful, noblest, most sublime thing in the world, is to recompense and punish.
Alexandre Dumas
