("Les Miserables")
More Quotes from Victor Hugo:
Genius is a promontory jutting out of the infinite.Victor Hugo
Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
At the shrine of friendship never say die, let the wine of friendship never run dry - Les Miserables
