“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

"Forse avrebbe desiderato confidar a qualcuno queste sue idee. Ma in qual modo avrebbe potuto descrivere quel malessere vago che mutava aspetto come le nuvole o che turbinava come il vento? Le mancavano le parole, l’occasione, il coraggio."

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more.
