There are misfortunes in life that no one will accept; people would rather believe in the supernatural and the impossible.

More from Alexandre Dumas
"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."
"Justice is a slow process, but it is sure."
"The greatest pleasure is to be loved."
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
"The human heart is a strange thing. It is capable of the greatest love and the greatest hatred."
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.
