The hungry men were seen, followed by their valets, roaming the quais and guards' quarters gleaning from their outside friends all the dinners they could find for, according to Aramis, in prosperity one should sow meals right and left, in order to harvest some in adversity.
Alexandre Dumas
Image
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
