Victor Hugo Quotes

This Cloistered Existence Which Is So Austere, So Depressing, A Few Of Whose Features We Have Just Traced, Is Not Life, For It Is Not Liberty; It Is Not The Tomb, For It Is Not Plenitude; It Is The Strange Place Whence One Beholds, As From The Crest Of A Lofty Mountain, On One Side The Abyss Where We Are, On The Other, The Abyss Whither We Shall Go; It Is The Narrow And Misty Frontier Separating Two Worlds, Illuminated And Obscured By Both At The Same Time, Where The Ray Of Life Which Has Become Enfeebled Is Mingled With The Vague Ray Of Death; It Is The Half Obscurity Of The Tomb.
