― Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

“There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Not seeing people permits us to imagine them with every perfection.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
