A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.
Victor Hugo
Image
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo
Image
Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.
Victor Hugo
Image
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.

I only take a half share in the civil war I am willing to die, I am not willing to kill.
