Victor Hugo
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
