“Who has been unhooking the stars without my permission, and putting them on the table in the guise of candles?”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“I didn't ask to be born, and I don't owe God anything.”
― Frank Wedekind, Spring's Awakening

“You have no effect on me with your gesture of Hippocrates refusing bric-a-brac from Artaxerxes. I dispense you from quieting me. Anyway, I'm sad. What would you have me tell you? Man is wicked, man is deformed; the butterfly has succeeded, man has missed. God failed on this animal. A crowd gives you nothing but a choice of ugliness. The first man you meet will be a wretch. 'Femme' rhymes with 'infâme', woman is infamous. Yes, I have the spleen, in addition to melancholy, with nostalgia, plus hypochondria, and I sneer, and I rage, and I yawn, and I'm tired, and I'm bored, and I'm tormented! Let God go to the Devil!”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's
why.”
― John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men
