A writer is a world trapped in a person.
Victor Hugo
Image
The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.
Victor Hugo
Image
Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.
Victor Hugo
Image
He was at his own request and through his own complicity driven out of all his happinesses one after the other and he had this sorrow, that after having lost Cosette wholly in one day, he was afterwards obliged to lose her again in detail.
