The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love is the half of to believe.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.
Victor Hugo

by making himself a priest made himself a demon.
Victor Hugo
Image
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.
