Famous Alexandre Dumas Quotes

“When I asked you if you were consoled, I was speaking to you as a man for whom the human heart holds no secrets. Well, then, Morrel, let us sound the depths of your heart. Is it still that ardent impatience of pain that makes the body leap like a lion bitten by a mosquito? Is it still that raging thirst that can be sated only in the tomb? Is it that ideal notion of regret that launches the living man out of life in pursuit of death? Or is it merely the prostration of exhausted courage, the ennui that stifles the ray of hope as it tries to shine? Is it the loss of memory, bringing an impotence of tears? Oh, my friend, if it is that, if you can no longer weep, if you think your numbed heart is dead, if you have no strength left except in God and no eyes except for heaven – then, my friend, let us put aside words that are too narrow to contain the meanings our soul would give them. Maximilien, you are consoled, pity yourself no longer.”

“Catherine ne répondit point. Elle tourna lentement son regard vers la tapisserie contre laquelle il était appuyé. Alors elle ramena sur Charles un œil qui voulait dire : Alors, pourquoi vit-il ? -Il vit... il vit... murmura Charles IX, qui comprenait parfaitement ce regard et qui y répondait, comme on le voit, sans hésitation ; il vit, parce qu'il... est mon parent.”
