Victor Hugo
Image
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
Image
Whom man kills, him God restoreth to life.
Victor Hugo

Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Victor Hugo
Image
I think, therefore I doubt.
