The Count of Monte Cristo
- One day when I cursed Providence for making me so wicked, and ordaining me to such a fate, my adopted father said to me, 'Do not blaspheme, unhappy child, the crime is that of your father, not yours,—of your father, who consigned you to hell if you died, and to misery if a miracle preserved you alive.'†
Chpt 109-110
- After that I ceased to blaspheme, but I cursed my father.†
