’tis not civil war that disunites us. It is that we are each of us twenty years older; it is that the honest emotions of youth have given place to suggestions of interest, whispers of ambition, counsels of selfishness.
D'Artagnan (dialogue) · Alexandre Dumas, Twenty Years After (1845), the anonymous nineteenth-century translation, Chapter XXVII
I have worn my cuirass these twenty years, kept down in this inferior rank, without going forward or backward, hardly half living. In fact, I am dead.
D'Artagnan (dialogue) · Alexandre Dumas, Twenty Years After (1845), the anonymous nineteenth-century translation, Chapter XV
