I can't believe I'm in the home stretch now, with less than 200 pages to go. I know I'm on the cusp of the (in)famous sewers digression, but honestly, I can't wait. Hugo could lecture me about tea towels for 30 pages and I'd probably enjoy every moment of it.

"From where will the cry of love come, if not from the height of sacrifice?... Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we go to a grave pervaded through and through by the light of dawn."

Part 4 of 5 done. It's too early in the day for all these feelings.

"Love, the future belongs to you. Death, I make use of you but I hate you. Citizens, in the future there will be neither darkness or thunderbolts, neither savage ignorance nor bloody retaliation...
