Civil war? What does this mean? Is there any foreign war? Is not every war between men, war between brothers? War is modified only by it’s aim. There is neither foreign war, nor civil war; there is only unjust war and just war.

Victor Hugo – Les Miserables (page 25)
Have no fear no fear of robbers or murderers. Such dangers are without, and are but petty. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. What matters it what threatens our heads or our purses? Ler us think only of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo – Les Miserables (page 25)
