Victor Hugo
I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
