Victor Hugo Quotes, Heart Quotes, Destiny Quotes

Can human nature ever be wholly and radically transformed? Can the man whom God made good be made wicked by man?

Can the heart become misshapen and afflicted with ugly, incurable deformities under disproportionate misfortune, like a spinal column bent beneath a too low roof?

Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
