Victor Hugo
What is the cat? he exclaimed. It is a corrective. God, having made the mouse, said, 'I've made a blunder.' And he made the cat. The cat is the erratum of the mouse. The mouse, plus the cat, Is the revised and corrected proof of creation.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
To love is the half of to believe.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.
Victor Hugo
