Victor Hugo
Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
As we have explained, in first love the soul is taken long before the body later the body is taken long before the soul sometimes the soul is not taken at all.
