Victor Hugo
Image
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.

Victor Hugo
Image
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Image
The tomb is not a blind alley: it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight. It opens on the dawn.
