There is neither a foreign war nor a civil war; there is only just and unjust war. - Victor Hugo

Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!

The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.

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