More from Alexandre Dumas
"It is not the eye that sees, but the soul."
"He who dies gains; he who sees others die loses."
"Happiness is like a ball; we run after it while it is rolling, and we kick it when it stops."
"We are always in a hurry to be happy, for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune."
"Ignorance is the mother of all evils."
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.
