Victor Hugo
The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its name is vengeance it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral.
Victor Hugo
M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think.
