Friend is sometimes a word devoid of meaning enemy, never.
Victor Hugo
Image
So a voice in the mountain is enough to let loose an avalanche. A word too much may be followed by a caving in. If the word had not been spoken, it would not have happened.
Victor Hugo
Image
Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time.
Victor Hugo
Image
What says the law? You will not kill. How does it say it? By killing!

Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower.
