To learn is not to know; there are the learners and the lear... - Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Darling, has not the count just told us that all human wisdom is summed up in two words? Wait and hope."

"I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol."

"I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride."

"For the happy man prayer is only a jumble of words, until the day when sorrow comes to explain to him the sublime language by means of which he speaks to God."

"When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever."
