Emily

“When one has but a single idea he finds in it everything.”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

“I never realized my ugliness till now. When I compared myself with you, I pity myself indeed, poor unhappy monster that I am! I must seem to you like some awful beast, eh? You,-you are a sunbeam, a drop of dew, a bird's song! As for me, I am something frightful, neither man nor beast,- a nondescript object, more hard, shapeless, and more trodden under foot than a pebble!”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

“Excess of grief, like excess of joy is a violent thing which lasts but a short time. The heart of man cannot remain long in one extremity.”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame

“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense",”
― Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis
