Victor Hugo
Image
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.

We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo

Sleep comes more easily than it returns.

Victor Hugo
Image
If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.
Victor Hugo
