It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live. - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

"The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only."

"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves—say rather, loved in spite of ourselves."

"Sin is a gravitation."

"where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?"
