No one ever keeps a secret so well as a child.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no more sovereign eloquence than the truth in indignation.
Victor Hugo

In joined hands there is still some token of hope, in the clenched fist none.
Victor Hugo
Image
The peculiarity of sunrise is to make us laugh at all our terrors of the night, and our laugh is always proportioned to the fear we have had.
Victor Hugo
