We are always in a hurry to be happy; for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune. - Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo Book Quotes)

We are always in a hurry to be happy; for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune.[to M. Danglars ][On est toujours pressé d’être heureux, car lorsqu’on a souffert longtemps on a grand-peine à croire au bonheur. Mais ce n’est pas l’égoïsme seul qui me fait agir : il faut que j’aille à Paris.]
