Victor Hugo
Inspiration and genius -- one and the same.
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
The reduction of the universe to a single being, the expansion of a single being even to God, this is love.
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
A compliment is like a kiss through a veil.
The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
