Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers

"I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death."

"In all times, and all countries especially in those countries which are divided within by religious faith, there are always fanatics who will be well contented to be regarded as martyrs."

"Love is the most selfish of all the passions."

"Everyone knows that God protects drunkards and lovers."

"The merit of all things lies in their difficulty."

"I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death."
