Age
"To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful."
Truth
"So bring me this man, trembling and shivering from head to foot; let me fall into his arms or down at his knees; he will weep and we shall weep, he will be eloquent and I shall be comforted, and my heart shall melt into his, he will take my soul, and I his God.But what is this kindly old gentleman to me? And what am I to him? Just one more member of the race of unfortunates, one more shade to go with the many he has seen, one more figure to add to his total of executions."
Compassion
"To attempt, to brave, to persist, and persevere, to be faithful to one's self, to wrestle with destiny, to astound the catastrophe by the slight fear which is causes us, now to confront unjust power, again to insult intoxicated victory, to hold firm and withstand -- such is the example which nations need and the light which electrifies them."
Courage
"First of all, I wish you love, and that by loving you may also be loved.But if it's not like that, be brief in forgettingAnd after you've forgotten, don't keep anything."
Love
"The driver, a black silhouette upon his box, whipped up his bony horses. Icy silence in the coach. Marius, motionless, his body braced in the corner of the carriage, his head dropping down upon his breast, his arms hanging, his legs rigid, appeared to await nothing now but a coffin; Jean Valjean seemed made of shadow, and Javert of stone."
Mortality
"Style is the shape the ideal takes, rhythm, its movement."
Art
"Genius: the superhuman in man."
Man
"What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past."
History
"Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great."
