“There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Victor Hugo
“Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Victor Hugo
“The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.”
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Victor Hugo
“You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Victor Hugo
“Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.”
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
