The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.

Victor Hugo (1886). “William Shakespeare”
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
