Interestingly, this is not the full quote in the For Today reader. The full quote is "It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live" from Hugo's Les Miserables.
There are some wonderful quotes from Victor Hugo. Some of my favourites are:
- To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
- Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
- What Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.
- To love another person is to see the face of God.
- Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
- Those who do not weep, do not see.
- Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
The stasis which is the hell of being stuck in the food, the compulsions. I can think of nothing more awful for my soul than abusing my mind and body over and over as if it will help.
For today, I am living.
Blessed be.
