The difference between us and the English is that they are always thinking of what they are going to say, and we are always thinking of what we have said.

"Woman is a charming creature who, with a kiss, can transport you to paradise or hell."
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
"The best way to make a man happy is to give him a chance to be generous."
"A man's true character is revealed in his actions, not his words."
"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
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.
