Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.Victor Hugo
Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
Nothing can be more depressing than to expose, naked to the light of thought, the hideous growth of argot. Indeed it is like a sort of repellent animal intended to dwell in darkness which has been dragged out of its cloaca. One seems to see a horned and living creature viciously struggling to be restored to the place where it belongs.

And all of it is alive with the hideous vitality of things that have organized themselves amid disorganization.
Victor Hugo
