Sunset
“Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
The future has several names. For the weak, it’s impossible; for the fainthearted, it’s unknown; but for the valiant, it’s ideal.
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
A bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds…a garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could we ask? A few flowers at our feet and above us the stars.
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
People do not lack strength, they lack will.
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor.
Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come
What makes night within us may leave stars.
Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.
One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.
You’re adorable, mademoiselle. I study your eyes with a microscope and your soul with the telescope.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo- Les Miserables
