"Pain is as diverse as man. One..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“All animals are to be found in men and each of theme exists in some man, sometimes several at the time.”

“Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing.”

“To die is nothing; but it is terrible not to live.”

“In the case of most pains let this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that the pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting, if thou bear in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination.”

“To a gargoyle on the ramparts of Notre Dame as Esmeralda rides off with Gringoire Quasimodo says. "Why was I not made of stone like thee?”

“How sad, how strange, we make companions out of air and hurt them, so they will defy us, completing creation.”

“The more estimable the offender, the greater the torment.”

“After having been lost in the world, suddenly, through the pressure of suffering, the realization comes that the answers may not be found out there in worldly attainment and in the future. That's an important point for many people to reach. That sense of deep crisis-when the world as they have known it, and the sense of self that they have known that is identified with the world, become meaningless.”

“But yet I am firmly persuaded that a great deal of consciousness, every sort of consciousness, in fact, is a disease.”
