Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught.

More from Alexandre Dumas
"Fool that I am," said he,"that I did not tear out my heart the day I resolved to revenge myself."
"Never fear quarrels, but seek hazardous adventures."
"The soul forms its own horizons; your soul is darkened, and consequently the sky of the future appears stormy and unpromising."
"It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live."
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
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.
