“What matters it what threatens our head or our purse! Let us think only of that which threatens our soul.”

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

Les Misérables, (Musical by Claude-Michel Schönberg & Alain Boublil)

God help the outcasts // or nobody will

- Disney, Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

Did a voice whisper in his ear that he had just passed the solemn hour of his destiny; that there no longer remained a middle course for him; that if he were not henceforth the best of men, he would be the worst; that it behooved him now, so to speak, to mount higher than the Bishop, or fall lower than the convict; that if he wished to become good, he must become an angel; that if he wished to remain evil, he must become a monster?

- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (1862)

He had nothing of the prophet and nothing of the magician about him. This humble soul loved, and that was all.
