If he had had all Peru in his pocket, he would certainly have given it to this dancer but Gringoire had not Peru in his pocket and besides, America was not yet discovered. (p. 66)
Victor Hugo

A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
Victor Hugo
Image
In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo

A sewer is a cynic. It tells All.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
