Death Quote by Alexandre Dumas — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“That is a dream also; only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened; and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?”

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

“Il y a les sachants et les savants: c'est la mémoire qui fait les uns, c'est la philosophie qui fait les autres. La philosophie ne s'apprend pas; la philosophie est la réunion des sciences acquises au génie qui les applique.”

“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.”

“How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it”

“Everyone knows that God protects drunkards and lovers.”

“One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep; therefore we also no longer dream. It's a shame, because if I could dream, I know I'd dream about you.I'd dream about the way you smell and how your dark hair feels like silk between my fingers. I'd dream about the smoothness of your skin and the fierceness of your lips when we kiss.”

“It's only in drugs or death we'll see anything new, and death is just too controlling.”

“The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.”

“When I read obituaries I always note the age of the deceased. Automatically I relate this figure to my own age. Four years to go, I think. Nine more years. Two years and I'm dead. The power of numbers is never more evident than when we use them to speculate on the time of our dying.”

“Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.”
