Alexandre Dumas
A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky.
Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas
God is merciful to all, as he has been to you he is first a father, then a judge.
Alexandre Dumas
Sometimes one has suffered enough to have the right to never say: I am too happy.
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
If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.
Alexandre Dumas
