More quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Oh! The good times when we were so unhappy.
Alexandre Dumas
I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.
Alexandre Dumas
I hate this life of the fashionable world, always ordered, measured, ruled, like our music-paper. What I have always wished for, desired, and coveted, is the life of an artist, free and independent, relying only on my own resources, and accountable only to myself.
Alexandre Dumas
The custom and fashion of today will be the awkwardness and outrage of tomorrow - so arbitrary are these transient laws.
Alexandre Dumas
...remember that what has once been done may be done again.
Alexandre Dumas
One always hurries towards happiness, Monsieur Danglars, because when one has suffered much, one is at pains to believe in it.
Alexandre Dumas
Philosophy cannot be taught it is the application of the sciences to truth.
Alexandre Dumas
...but my friends call me Edmund Dantes.
Alexandre Dumas
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
We are never quits with those who oblige us, was Dantes' reply for when we do not owe them money, we owe them gratitude.
Alexandre Dumas
All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall.
Alexandre Dumas
...does that not tell you that grief is like life and that there is always somethings unknown beyond it?
Alexandre Dumas
But Valentine, why despair, why always paint the future in such sombre hues? Maximilien asked. Because, my friend, I judge it by the past.
Alexandre Dumas
Capricious and unfaithful, the king wished to be called Louis the Just and Louis the Chaste. Posterity will find a difficulty in understanding this character, which history explains only by facts and never by reason.
Alexandre Dumas
I am a count, not a saint.
Alexandre Dumas
Business? It's quite simple it's other people's money.
Alexandre Dumas
It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.
Alexandre Dumas
What a fool I was, not to tear my heart out on the day when I resolved to revenge myself!
Alexandre Dumas
The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates.
Alexandre Dumas
To learn is not to know there are the learners and the learned. Memory makes the one, philosophy the others.
