“PASSIONS are likened best to floods and streams:
The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb;”

of the physician should never be shut, the door of the priest should always be open.”

“You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience. . . .
You ask why I speak? I am neither informed against, nor pursued, nor hunted, say you. Yes! I am informed against! yes! I am pursued! yes! I am hunted! By whom? by myself. It is I myself who bar the way before myself, and I drag myself, and I urge myself, and I check myself and I exert myself, and when one holds himself he is well held.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“What a great thing, to be loved! What a greater thing still, to love! The heart becomes heroic though passion…if no one loved, the sun would go out.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
