With a tiny bit of effort, the nettle would be useful if you neglect it, it becomes a pest. So then we kill it. How many men are like nettles My friends, there is no such thing as a weed and no such thing as a bad man. There are only bad cultivators.

From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time.

Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
Victor Hugo
Image
Most commonly revolt is born of material circumstances but insurrection is always a moral phenomenon. Revolt is Masaniello, who led the Neapolitan insurgents in 1647 but insurrection is Spartacus. Insurrection is a thing of the spirit, revolt is a thing of the stomach.

What says the law? You will not kill. How does it say it? By killing!

God has made the cat to give man the pleasure of caressing the tiger.
Victor Hugo
Image
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo

Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
