Whether I was earning 1,500 or 15,000 francs a year, I have always played the Grand Seingneur a bit.
I live like the birds on the branch. If there is no wind I stay there. But if it grows windy, I spread my wings and go where the wind carries me.
Lamartine is a dreamer, Hugo a Philosopher, I am a populiser.
To require human nature not to be ungrateful is to ask wolves to be herbivorous.”
I haven’t any money. Drink Champagne, all of you – that’ll be a nice change.” (when a servant pointed out that more wine had to be bought for the servants).
When Dumas fils’ play Camille was a success he telegraphed his father in Brussels :
Great, great success ! So great that I thought I was attending the premiere of one of your works.
Dumas pére replied :
My finest work, dear child, is you.
