Victor Hugo
You say, Where goest Thou? I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.
Victor Hugo
In joined hands there is still some token of hope, in the clenched fist none.
Victor Hugo
