The Count of Monte Cristo Quotes

Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half way on the road. - Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo Book Quotes)

Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half way on the road.[Or, l’homme ne sera parfait que lorsqu’il saura créer et détruire comme Dieu ; il sait déjà détruire, c’est la moitié du chemin de fait.]

Source:(ed. P. F. Collier & Son, 1910), Volume I, Chapter LII. Toxicology, Page 610
