“Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.”
― Victor Hugo, The Man Who Laughs

“Nothing is so logical and nothing appears so absurd as the ocean.”

“The wolf had been trained by the man, or had trained himself unassisted, to divers wolfish arts, which swelled the receipts. "Above all things, do not degenerate into a man," his friend would say to him. Never did the wolf bite: the man did now and then. At least, to bite was the intent of Ursus. He was a misanthrope, and to italicize his misanthropy he had made himself a juggler. To live, also; for the stomach has to be consulted.”
― Victor Hugo, The Man Who Laughs
