" "

It is my considered view that no one can invent fictional characters without first having made a lengthy study of people, just as it is impossible for anyone to speak a language that has not been properly mastered. Since I am not yet of an age to invent, I must make do with telling a tale.

Additional quotes by Alexandre Dumas fils

Nosotras, criaturas de azar, no tenemos deseos fantásticos ni amores inconcebibles. Nos entregamos igual por una cosa que por otra. Hay individuos que se arruinarían sin obtener de nosotras nada, y hay otros que nos logran por un ramillete. Nuestro corazón tiene caprichos; esa es su única distracción y su única excusa. Yo me he entregado a ti más deprisa que a ningún hombre. ¿Por qué? Porque, al verme escupir sangre, me cogiste la mano; porque lloraste; porque eres la sola persona humana que ha tenido a bien compadecerme.

Your father embraced me once more. I felt two grateful tears on my forehead, like the baptism of my past faults, and at the moment when I consented to give myself up to another man I glowed with pride at the thought of what I was redeeming by this new fault.
