Alexandre Dumas
I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die.
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
You scholars, you're in communication with the devil.
Alexandre Dumas
