More from Alexandre Dumas
"The difference between us and the English is that they are always thinking of what they are going to say, and we are always thinking of what we have said."
"I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest."
"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
"The wretched and the miserable should turn to their fellow sufferers rather than to the happy for sympathy and advice."
"The greatest pleasure is to be loved."
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.
