Genius: the superhuman in man.
Victor Hugo
Image
These two beings, who had loved each other so exclusively, and with so touching a love, and who had lived so long for each other, were now suffering beside one another and through one another without speaking of it, without harsh feeling, and smiling all the while.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
