More from Alexandre Dumas
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
"Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy."
"The merit of all things lies in their difficulty."
"A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself."
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.
