Alexandre Dumas

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

Alexandre Dumas
Sometimes one has suffered enough to have the right to never say: I am too happy.
Alexandre Dumas
