Les misérables, de Victor Hugo, es uno de los mejores libros que he leído este año. Tengo una hoja llena de las frases que más me gustaron, y el libro está repleto de los fragmentos subrayados que más me llamaron la atención. Como son bastantes, he decidido dedicar dos entradas (quién sabe, quizá acaban siendo tres) a las frases que para mí han sido más interesantes de este libro.

The most sublime acts are often the least understood.
To be frightened of the daylight because one can see, and of the darkness because one cannot.
She was beautiful without being too aware of it.

Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time. To journey is to be born and die each minute.
Nothing makes a child more secretive than unhappiness.
Watterloo was not a battle but a change in the direction of the world.
Love, let us agree, may be a fault.
To breathe Paris is to preserve one's soul.
Indeed, if our earthly eyes possessed this power of seing into the hearts of others, we would judge men far more surely by their dreams than by their thoughts.
It is possible to conceive of something even more terrible than a hell of suffering, and that is a hell of boredom.
Es un libro que estoy deseando leer, muchas gracias por las citas^^
