More from Alexandre Dumas
"Hatred is blind; anger is deaf: he who pours oil on the fire only increases the flame."
"There are two ways of seeing: with the body and with the soul. The body's sight can sometimes be faulty, but the soul's sight is always true."
"The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates."
"There are some misfortunes which are so great that we dare not think of them, and yet we must never lose sight of them."
"Great is truth. Fire cannot burn it nor water drown it."
About Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
French Romantic novelist whose The Three Musketeers (1844) and The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-46) defined the historical-adventure novel and were translated into more languages than any other French author. Closely associated with Victor Hugo (French Romantic peer and Les Misérables author). For an intellectual contrast, see Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) — Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1856) replaced Dumas's swashbuckling adventure with psychological-realist detail — Flaubert's three-month searches for the right adjective are the precise opposite of Dumas's serial-installment plot-machine. French literature pivoted from Romantic to Realist in a single generation, with Dumas and Flaubert as the cleanest poles.
