It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
