"He does not weep who does not..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.”

“There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.”

“Cheerfulness is like money well expended in charity; the more we dispense of it, the greater our possession.”

“I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing.”

“In all your life, you will never find a method more effective in getting through to another person than to make that person feel important.”

“It's one thing to communicate to people because you believe you have something of value to say. It's another to communicate with people because you believe they have value.”

“It takes courage to live through suffering; and it takes honesty to observe it.”

“I lay in bed at night crying to myself. The only one who loved me and watched over me was someone I couldn't see or hear or touch.”

“The reason for great distress is the body. Without it, what distress could there be?”
