More from Alexandre Dumas
"All human wisdom is contained in these two words — 'Wait and Hope.'"
"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."
"The greatest conqueror is he who overcomes himself."
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
"Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing 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.
