Victor Hugo
Image
In joined hands there is still some token of hope, in the clenched fist none.
Victor Hugo
Image
I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
