More from Alexandre Dumas
"A man who has no illusions is the most disillusioned of all."
"The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs."
"I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol."
"Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught."
"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts."
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.
