"Night and the day, when united, Bring..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.”

“The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.”

“It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.”

“Both light and shadow are the dance of Love.”

“Joy lives concealed in grief.”

“Man has always been half-monster, half-dreamer.”

“The night crept on apace, the moon went down, the stars grew pale and dim, and morning, cold as they, slowly approached. Then, from behind a distant hill, the noble sun rose up, driving the mists in phantom shapes before it, and clearing the earth of their ghostly forms till darkness came again.”

“What light through yonder window breaks?”

“The eye which turns from a white object in the light of the sun and goes into a less fully lighted place will see everything as dark.”
