Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.

More from Alexandre Dumas
"The strongest are those who are most alone."
"Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught."
"The greatest pleasure in life is to do what people say you cannot do."
"The greatest events of history are often brought about by the most trivial causes."
"Time, which encrusts all physical substances with its mossy mantle, as it deposits all moral phenomena with its mantle of forgetfulness."
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.
