Victor Hugo

“He sought not to efface sorrow by forgetfulness, but to magnify and dignify it by hope. He said:— "Have a care of the manner in which you turn towards the dead. Think not of that which perishes. Gaze steadily. You will perceive the living light of your well-beloved dead in the depths of heaven.”

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
