Press on! A better fate awaits thee.
Victor Hugo
Image
To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo

Who among us has not sought peace in a song?
Victor Hugo
Image
God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
