“The hatred of luxury is not an intelligent hatred. It implies a hatred of arts.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Just... isn't giving up allowed sometimes? Isn't it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?”
“It sets a dangerous precedent.”
“For avoiding pain?”
“For avoiding life.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“This is what floats up confusedly, pell-mell, for the year 1817, and is now forgotten. History neglects nearly all these particulars, and cannot do otherwise; the infinity would overwhelm it. Nevertheless, these details, which are wrongly called trivial, — there are no trivial facts in humanity, nor little leaves in vegetation, — are useful. It is of the physiognomy of the years that the physiognomy of the centuries is composed. In this year of 1817 four young Parisians arranged “a fine farce.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Slurring is the cursive of speech...”
― Amor Towles, Rules of Civility
