All rightey, here we go. More Quote, Unquotes from Amber Shipp! First one in a few months, and I'm actually kind of excited.
So, as Annabelle knows, I have been gushing about Les Miserables by Victor Hugo lately (ahem, Annabelle, I still want you to read it/watch it/whatever it. In fact, I have the huge novel right at my elbow), and so I shall now present to you one of my favourite quotes.
"So be it," added Enjolras, "A word more. In executing that man, I obeyed necessity; but necessity is a monster of the old world, the name of necessity is Fatality. Now the law of progress is, that monsters disappear before angels, and that Fatality vanish before Fraternity. This is not a moment to pronounce the word love. No matter, I pronounce it, and I glorify it. Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood. As Satan shall be no more, so Michael shall be no more. In the future, no man shall slay his fellow, the earth shall be radiant, the human race shall love. It will come, citizens, that day when all shall be concord, harmony, light, joy and life; it will come, and it is so that it may come that we are going to die."
~ Victor Hugo, Several Interrogation Points Concerning One Le Cabuc, Who Perhaps Was Not Le Cabuc, Les Miserables
Vive L' France, sweeties.

Goodness, he sounds like a cheery fellow.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes Enjy is the cheeriest of them all.
ReplyDelete(But in all seriousness, his friends do all the merriment for him.)
That is NO excuse to be gloomy. I would NEVER be gloomy and let my friends be merry for me. :D And we all know how true THAT is!!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually pretty sure it's not in Enjolras' character makeup to be happy. Or at least show that he's happy. He seriously only smiles once. It's just... him.
ReplyDelete(And yes, of course I know. XD You're pretty much the one who cheers me up when I have my frequent mood swings.)
That's because I'm just like that, you know. NEVER bored or depressed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't think I've ever seen you depressed or bored. I don't really get bored, but I do get on bad moods because of my energy levels, which spike and swoop at random so I really don't know what mood I'm going to be in and it's frustrating. XD
ReplyDeleteReally? You have never seen me bored? Bored is my most used mood!
ReplyDeleteNever, ever seen you bored. :)
