C'est une étrange prétention des hommes de vouloir que l'amour conduise quelque part

Victor Hugo

Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. The writer doubles and trebles the power of writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people.

Victor Hugo


Go to quote


The book the reader has now before his eyes - from one end to the other, in its whole and in its details, whatever the omissions, the exceptions, or the faults - is the march from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from the false to the true, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from rottenness to life, from brutality to duty, from Hell to Heaven, from nothingness to God. Starting point: matter; goal: the soul. Hydra at the beginning, angel at the end.

There are moments when a rope's end, a pole, the branch of the tree, is life itself, and it is a frightful thing to see a living being lose his hold upon it, and fall like a ripe fruit.
