“When a man does wrong, he should do all the wrong he can; it is madness to stop half-way in crime!”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

“Il dort. Quoique le sort fut pour lui bien étrange,
Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n’eut plus son ange.
La choise simplement d’elle-même arriva.
Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s’en va.

He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own.
The way night comes when day is done.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Was it the infinite sadness of her eyes that drew him or the mirror of himself that he found in the gorgeous clarity of her mind?”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

“I bear the dungeon within me; within me is winter, ice, and despair; I have darkness in my soul.”
― Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
