"She had had sweet dreams, which possibly..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The wind of revolutions is not tractable.”

“Love, in the eyes of the world, is either a carnal appetite or a vague fancy, which possession extinguishes or absence destroys. That is why it is commonly said, with a strange abuse of words, that passion does not endure.”

“Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.”

“Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.”

“Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.”

“It would be very curious to record by means of photographs, not the stage of the picture, but its metamorphoses. Perhaps one would perceive the path taken by the mind in order to put its dreams into a concrete form. But what is really very curious is to observe that fundamentally the picture does not change, that despite appearances the initial vision remains almost intact.”

“A brown spotted lady-bug climbed the dizzy height of a grass blade, and Tom bent down close to it and said, "Lady-bug, lady-bug, fly away home, your house is on fire, your children's alone," and she took wing and went off to see about it -- which did not surprise the boy, for he knew of old that this insect was credulous about conflagrations, and he had practised upon its simplicity more than once.”

“There was a serenity about him always that had the look of innocence, when, technically, the word was no longer applicable.”

“When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.”
