Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.

More from Alexandre Dumas
"Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words: Wait and hope."
"The greatest events of history are often brought about by the most trivial causes."
"I have loved much, suffered much, and learned much."
"The best way to make a man happy is to give him a chance to be generous."
"Fool that I am," said he,"that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself."
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.
