Alexandre Dumas

A husband is always a sensible man; he never thinks of marrying.
Alexandre Dumas - Translation from "The Count of Monte Cristo"

Jealousy is the art of injuring ourselves more than others.
Alexandre Dumas - The Count of Monte Cristo

Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.

- Alexandre Dumas
