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.

More from Alexandre Dumas
"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
"Happiness is like one of those palaces on an enchanted island, its gates guarded by dragons. One must fight to gain it."
"The greatest conqueror is he who overcomes himself."
"I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride."
"It is not the eye that sees, but the soul."
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.
