Victor Hugo Quotes
Moreover That Which Is Called, Far Too Harshly In Certain Cases, The Ingratitude Of Children, Is Not Always A Thing So Deserving Of Reproach As It Is Supposed. It Is The Ingratitude Of Nature. Nature, As We Have Elsewhere Said, "looks Before Her." Nature Divides Living Beings Into Those Who Are Arriving And Those Who Are Departing. Those Who Are Departing Are Turned Towards The Shadows, Those Who Are Arriving Towards The Light. Hence A Gulf Which Is Fatal On The Part Of The Old, And Involuntary On The Part Of The Young. This Breach, At First Insensible, Increases Slowly, Like All Separations Of Branches. The Boughs, Without Becoming Detached From The Trunk, Grow Away From It. It Is No Fault Of Theirs. Youth Goes Where There Is Joy, Festivals, Vivid Lights, Love. Old Age Goes Towards The End. They Do Not Lose Sight Of Each Other, But There Is No Longer A Close Connection. Young People Feel The Cooling Off Of Life; Old People, That Of The Tomb. Let Us Not Blame These Poor Children.
