1   Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars - all the beauties of creation. Hugo Victor Les Miserables
2   Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant. Hugo Les Miserables
3   Idleness is a mother. She has a son, robbery, and a daughter, hunger. Hugo Victor Les Miserables
4   Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees. Hugo Les Miserables
5   Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odour. Hugo Victor Les Miserables
6   He does not weep who does not see. Hugo Les Miserables
7   Too much improvisation leaves the mind stupidly void. Hugo Victor Les Miserables
